Seems to be a compilation of mostly Classic Van Halen unreleased, with some Van Hagar tacted on...



This is a 4 CD set of unreleased Van Halen music that I purchased from the Van Halen mailing list about 10 years ago. The quality varies quite widely, from barely listenable (e.g. some songs on the first disc) to excellent (e.g. the first few songs on the second disc). I think there are probably some better sources for a lot of these songs, but the entire set is nonetheless a great "one stop shopping" resource for rare VH performances - especially for someone who is just getting started on collecting VH bootlegs.

I used EAC to copy my original CDs, then compressed them to FLAC using dbPowerAmp.

The final track on disc 3 ("Finish What Ya Started") is a remix of the studio version. Never officially released (except, apparently, to one radio station), but still... I've removed it in order to comply with the rules. If anyone knows more about that particular remix that might allow it to be offered here (like, for example, if it's not from the same take as the officially released version), let me know and I'll upload the torrent again with that track included.

Let's download it (and delete the Van Hagar:) )

(Only Brad Starks could make a VH cover this gay.)

Thanks for the heads up. I won't bother seizing up my bandwidth to the tune of 1.71GBs. Fuck, the cover is reason enough not to download it... I already have most of the good stuff.

BRAD STARKS should stick to other things, like regularly not updating VH's website.:)
