Women & Children First (Jpn)

MASTERED FROM THE ORIGINAL ANALOG MASTER TAPES FOR A DEFINITIVE LISTENING EXPERIENCEVan Halen vocalist David Lee Roth says it all on the second song of the band's third album - and third consecutive smash in less than three years time. 'Everybody wants some!,' he declares before immediately querying, 'Baby, how 'bout, you?' Roth and the rest of Van Halen already knew the answer. The quartet further confirmed it's status as America's leading rock band and principal party starters on Women and Children First while heading in harder, heavier directions with thrilling songs that Rolling Stone scribe David Fricke rightly deemed 'works of high-volume art.' Mastered from the original analog tapes, Mobile Fidelity's numbered-edition hybrid SACD of the triple-platinum effort ensures demand for the 1980 record has never been stronger.
