Van Halen - Balance (Expanded) - Indie LP

Indie Exclusive, Colored Vinyl, Orange, Expanded Version

Number of Discs: 2

Van Halen’s Balance turns 30 this year, and Rhino is celebrating with an expanded edition of the band’s multi-platinum tenth studio album. It follows last year’s successful reissue of For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge (Expanded Edition) and concludes Rhino’s spotlight on the band’s classic albums from the Hagar era.

Balance (Expanded Edition) pulls together a selection of non-album tracks from the period, including the B-side “Crossing Over,” along with “Humans Being” and “Respect the Wind” from the Twister soundtrack. Also featured are eight standout performances from the band’s 1995 Wembley Stadium appearance, which was broadcast by the BBC. The recordings offer rare live versions of Balance tracks like “Feelin’” and “The Seventh Seal.”

Originally released on January 24, 1995, Balance debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 and was certified triple Platinum by the RIAA. The album produced rock radio hits like “Can’t Stop Lovin’ You” and “Don’t Tell Me (What Love Can Do),” and introduced deeper cuts like “Big Fat Money” and “Aftershock.” It marked the final studio album recorded by the lineup of Sammy Hagar, Eddie Van Halen, Alex Van Halen, and Michael Anthony.
