Van Halen
Van Halen began a new chapter 40 years ago with the release of 5150, the first album featuring the lineup of Sammy Hagar, Eddie Van Halen, Alex Van Halen and Michael Anthony. Cut at Eddie’s 5150 Studios in California, the album debuted at the top of the Billboard 200, becoming the band’s first #1 release. With hits like “Why Can’t This Be Love,” “Dreams,” and “Best Of Both Worlds,” it quickly became one of the best-selling albums of Van Halen’s career, earning 6x Platinum certification in the U.S. In stores today, a 1-LP/3-CD/Blu-ray Expanded Edition of 5150 includes rare single edits and extended 12” versions along with more than 90 minutes of previously unreleased live recordings from the band’s August 27, 1986, concert at New Haven Veterans Memorial Coliseum.
