Editorial Review:

Album Description:
Japanese pressing of Van Halen's single disc Best Of Vol. 1 (originally released in 1996) featuring one bonus track: 'Hot For Teacher'. This was the compilation that essentially brought Van Halen to a close when the band drafted in original vocalist David Lee Roth to record two new tracks. This reunion was short-lived but it was enough to anger then-current vocalist Sammy Hagar into leaving the band. Hagar did tour with the band in 2004, but they've never recovered from the firestorm that this release sparked! 18 tracks. Warner. 2007.

Amazon.com:
It took over 20 years for Van Halen to release a Best of album, and even then, the band downplayed the effort. Instead sticking to the original plan of releasing a two-disc set--one of material with original frontman David Lee Roth, and the other with his 11-year replacement Sammy Hagar--the band opted for a single CD chronicling their entire career. For the previously uninitiated, it's a golden introduction to a band that changed the face of '80s hard rock. Guitar-blazing old tracks like 'Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love,' and 'Dance the Night Away' segue into more commercial numbers like 'Jump' and 'Panama' from 1984. These in turn, set the stage for Hagar's slicker, more polished vocals on 'Right Now' and 'How Do I Know When It's Love.' But while newcomers will be thrilled with the delights within, old fans will probably find little of use, since the two highly touted new tracks with Roth are pretty disposable. --Jon Wiederhorn

- Looks like a wedding ring
I wish I were blind. Instead of bonkers. Pheromones have got me all locked up. Will be right back ~ D for C, kept in my pocket all day, good luck. I'm decompensating. Won't you be my Yoko Ono? Fairy tales (with cut-n-paste dolls; and fresh bread). Icicles. Again, I can't emphasize enough the, uh, pheromones part. "I have no problems" (Burroughs). So why am I dancing four hours straight at the set-up station? Inordinate. Looks like some sorta bird mating behavior. As you said, you move me.

- Takes Me Back . . .
Great mix of songs from my high school years. Having the hits all in one place lets me get great value. Jump! I think is my all time favorite Van Halen song. Great product.

Rating:

- WHY NOT ANOTHER ONE ????
How stupid do a record label or band ( who knows which ) must be, that they won't make a partner to this album. WHERE IS VOL.2 ?? You must really not want the 1-2 million copies of this sold and all that money made. Wait much longer, and everybody will forget VAN-HALEN.
