I stood in line at the music store in 1984 on the morning that this was originally released and eagerly waited to purchase this album. I studied every part, and listened carefully to every song. Fast forward 35 years later and now I’m holding a 180g remastered release. First off, the cover is exactly like the original, down to the back cover printed upside down. The inner sleeve and liner notes are included as well as an extra audiophile quality white paper sleeve that is plastic lined that the record is in. The vinyl is dead quiet and the remaster quality is superb. It may be the best that this has ever sounded. These VH re-releases are quite impressive and worth every penny. They are limited pressings so grab it up while you can!

Eddie said years ago, that digital cds don't sound good. I mean mp3s are convenient, but the full emmersive experience of professionally recorded analog mulitrack on vinyl is a steal at this $23 2021 price, considering its Eddie Van Halen's guitar filling out the left channel.
Excellent comeback album of sorts, not that the predecessors were bad. This one architected a new kind of sound fpr them that was wildly popular, but unfortunately the band broke up instead and became the awkward Van Hagar. This album never pulls a punch, it's great beginning to end.
Incidentally, the vinyl was in absolutely perfect condition, though there were some tears in the inner sleeve from Amazon transportation/conveyance.
I bought this earlier in the year from Amazon and had to return it: offcenter, warped, tone going up and down.

We already know the album is great, this was settled over 30 years ago. But this version of the vinyl is SO clean and the sound is incredible. I direct A/B tested this against the CD, and I gotta say, the synth in Jump has more "bite" and the drums definitely sound punchier and it's all for the better. Definitely buy this record.

Pure, unadulterated, 80’s rock and roll! This is an album you take to a desert island with you. It is a timeless classic, crisp clean sounds and guitar excellence. You can feel David Lee Roth’s energy and mime Eddie Van Halen’s shredding in every epic song. One of the most balanced rock album ever produced. I’m 46, my millennial wife is 30 and our little girl is going to be 3 and we all got up and danced to this album. It’s a generational music piece of art.

This should be the second, or third time, you have bought this album. If you haven't worn out your first ones, well, you are just sad. Unless you are under the age 10. Otherwise, never publicly tell anyone. You will only embarrass yourself, your family, anyone who has had sex with you, and most of the people at your church.

I ended up getting a newer repressing from Argentina with a full cream color Warner label with the new sunset logo. It was not sealed and lacked the anniversary booklet insert of the Chile/Argentinean recent releases. No CB in the the runouts on either side. I did not notice any tape dropouts. Further reference info is located at the Discogs website. Has this album been fixed or was the hi res files been used, which don't have the dropouts on Hot For Teacher or 1984?

Sound is lightening times better than the original CD releases. Can't comment on the Warner reissues than came out more recently but it is night and day above the original cd's. I replaced all of them with these reissues. I'm a sound snob too! These sound superb!

A 'must have on vinyl'
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 15, 2017Verified Purchase
One of my 'must have on vinyl' collection....it's the only way to listen to this album - It sounds incredible!
I'm not going to review the album as such, other than to say it's a classic DLR era LP with all the traits of the band pushed to the limits.
This pressing is fantastic, no surface noise and on a heavyweight vinyl....someone has put some time and effort into this. It's a weird thing but music of this time was made for vinyl and therefore probably sounds more natural played on that format. There's so much detail in the sound which again brings things out in the mix that I've not heard before. Quality.

THE CLASSIC LINE-UP DELIVERING ANOTHER CLASS ALBUM
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 20, 2015Verified Purchase
Van Halen; the genius of Eddie's playing, the pounding of Alex's drums with Michael Anthony's bass rhythm and then the delivery of the unique vocals done by Dave Lee Roth (someone who must be one of the best show/front men of the rock genre) and you have the perfect cocktail that just hits the mark every time !!!!!!! The (probably without knowing it at the time) original innovators of glam metal were just way ahead of anything that had gone before in nearly every respect - Van Halen's classic line-up of Eddie, Alex, Michael and Dave together, were just the 100% perfect recipe!!
This was the final album from the classic line-up and, what an album it is with tracks like House Of Pain and Girl Gone Bad that could easily have been put on their very first debut album as they sound and, are, soooooo good !!!! Other tracks like Panama and Hot For Teacher just kick ass - fabulous!!!
If you wanna listen to Van Halen, buy the CD's with this line-up of the band.

George Orwell it is not

My favourite Van Halen album 1984. It was also a very poignant year for me so maybe thats why it has such impact. Great songs and great rock era the 80's had some cracking rock bands and Van Halen were certainly one of them., This is a Diamond Dave Van Halen not a Sammy Hagar Van Halan so its the big hair skin tight leather trousers and skyscraper styletto heels look and sound - which I personally loved then and now. All of the tracks on this album are fabulous. Jump was my favourite but Hot for Teacher soon became a very close second. Panama is another that sticks. Love listening to this when the roof is down and doing a burn up in a hot rod. Just takes me right back.

The last great VH album?
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 12, 2007Verified Purchase
As everyone knows, their great frontman left after this amidst much recrimination and blaming-each-other on the parts of EVH and Roth. It`s pretty scary that it all happened 23 years ago (I missed it being too traumatising back then, due to my age)...but if only Eddie wasn`t in and out of rehab in 2007 and they could just get along I`d still love to see the classic VH line-up live, and even better, record some new stuff.
I still think 6 amazing albums is a pretty decent output, and can`t think of many other bands who`ve managed that. 1984 isn`t my favourite, but it`s still a stunning, 5-star effort. The band weren`t all that happy with Eddie starting to throw a few keyboard numbers in and I think I agree with them, but "Jump" and "I`ll Wait" are great songs, just not the hard rock we`d learned to adore from the previous albums. "Jump" has one of Eddie`s greatest guitar solos on for sure. It`s not really that song though that makes the album so special. There a three or four others that are a sign of a band at it`s absolute peak. Firstly, "Panama", classic Roth, with the sort of tongue-in-cheek sleaze that VH never showcased again with Sammy Hagar. Classic Eddie too, he just blows me away every song. Alex and Mike are great as ever too. "Hot For Teacher" is wonderful too, funny and loud and a real party song! "Top Jimmy", "Drop Dead Legs" and "Girl Gone Bad" would be career-best songs by any other rock `n` roll band. My favourite song though is one of the less heralded VH tracks and the album closer, "House of Pain". It`s almost as though Eddie had distilled all his anger with Roth`s antics and released it in the form of this huge, monster of an attacking solo. It was one of the earliest written VH songs that missed the cut on all their other albums but Alex insisted it was on this time and thank God. If I could play the solo I would die a satisfied man...it`s amazing and I`m always stunned by it...I know guitar playing isn`t all about speed, and that`s why I love EVH because the feel is incredible too and it`s perfect.
So, buy it. And revel in the greatest four-piece rock band there ever was (and who knows...perhaps they will be again one day)!
