"The collection II" LP od Van Halen

Van Halen had two lifespans - the time until 1985 with David Lee Roth as the lead singer, and the time afterwards when Sammy Hagar took over as the lead singer and joined guitarist Eddie Van Halen, drummer Alex Van Halen, and bassist Michael Anthony in the band. A new box set focuses on this second incarnation of the California hard rock formation. It's called 'The Collection II,' available from October 6th, and includes newly remastered versions of four multi-platinum studio albums as well as a selection of rarities recorded between 1989 and 2004. The box set will be released as a set of 5 LPs and 5 CDs and can be pre-ordered now. The entire music of the set has been mastered under the supervision of the band's longtime sound engineer, Donn Landee, directly from the original master tapes.

As the title of the box set already reveals, 'The Collection II' is the long-awaited sequel to the 2015 compilation that focused on the six studio albums from Van Halen's first lifespan, with singer David Lee Roth. 'The Collection II' continues where 'The Collection' left off and includes the four consecutive US #1 albums of the Hagar era: '5150' (1986, DE #11), 'OU812' (1988, DE #12), 'For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge' (1991, DE #6), and 'Balance' (1995, DE #8).
