Terrence J. Reardon

The first Van Halen album of the 1980s and with proper title is also one of their greatest

Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2009

Verified Purchase

Van Halen's third album (their first with a proper title) called Women and Children First was originally released in March of 1980.
The album was recorded in two weeks in January of 1980 but the way that lead singer David Lee Roth, guitarist Eddie Van Halen, his drummer brother Alex Van Halen and bass player Michael Anthony played here it doesn't sound it. The album was also produced again by Ted Templeman and also engineered by Donn Landee. The Women and Children First album was the first where the band wrote all of the songs on the album (and had no cover tunes). What was the result of recording and mixing in a two week span and recording all original material, find out like I did when I first got the album for Christmas in 1984 on cassette tape.
The opening rocker "And the Cradle Will Rock..." had a killer keyboard riff which sounds like an electric guitar but was a distorted Wurlitzer piano cranked through a Marshall amp and stack and two killer Eddie Van Halen guitar solos in the middle and guitar effects on the right speakers. David Lee Roth's vocals were killer on this album. "Everybody Wants Some" is next with Alex's superb drum intro and an awesome song and all I can think about is the claymated hamburger singing this song in Better Off Dead but a killer song nonetheless with stellar bass work from Michael Anthony and more guitar work from Eddie whom just rocks on this entire album. "Fools" follows and is an awesome track which starts out with just Diamond Dave and Eddie's guitar before going into a full throttle rocker. The first half closing rocker "Romeo Delight" is a killer and sounds like proto-thrash with its punkish drumming and metal riffs.
The second half kicks off with the killer guitar effect fanfare "Tora! Tora!" before rocking out to the speed metal sounding "Loss of Control". Next is the bluesy rocker "Take Your Whiskey Home" which may have started out as an acoustic piece at first and then rocks out for the rest of the song. Next is the acoustic blues of "Could This Be Magic" with Eddie doing some killer dobro and the late Nichollette Larson supplying some uncredited backing vocals towards the end of the track alongside Michael Anthony. The closing "In a Simple Rhyme" starts out as an acoustic piece before it rocks out then slows again then rocks for the solo then slows for the end like in beginning. After the song ends, there is a hidden 30 second instrumental at the end of the album.
When Women and Children First was released, it became the band's first album to storm into the US Top 5 and was another Multi-Platinum hit for the band.
Highly recommended!

I’m a huge Van Halen fan! I put all of my collectible original pressings away in protective cases. These remasters by Ted Templeman from 2015 are epic!

Compared to my CD’s these 180gm remasters sound significantly better! Highly recommended!

Ignore the fraudulent review by ‘Mars.’

Eddie Van Halen a ‘one trick pony?’

Yeah, ok.

You lose all credibility with a statement like that.

I have all 6 of the Roth era remasters; flawless!

Admittedly, if I had to choose which one sounds the best; 1984. For some reason, it just sounds a bit crisper. Not to take away from this remaster or the others, they’re all phenomenal!

The original artwork is in the inner sleeves as well.

But, with one major change; it’s not regular paper. The inside of the sleeves are specially coated to protect the vinyl.

Personally, I use my own protective sleeves; for the vinyl, and the outside of the album case itself.

I just slide the original sleeve on in next to my own sleeves that I purchased here on Amazon.

Also, you can’t go wrong with the price!

Buy ‘em!

Long live the mighty Van Halen!

Received a blue and yellow vinyl album cover?

Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2014

Verified Purchase

One of the better Van Halen albums. For some reason, I never owned or listened to this entire album when it first came out. I did not know anyone who had it, so all I ever heard was a couple songs like "The Cradle Will Rock" and "Everybody Wants Some" on the radio. Finally, I got this album and listened to it and was surpised how good it was with songs like "Fools" and "Romeo Delight" becoming favorites of mine years after the album was released. I also want to note something that does not effect the quality of the album, but depending who and where you order this album from, instead of the normal green and grey album cover, you may get one that is blue and yellow, which is an authentic Van Halen album, but a version that is from the U.K. A neat collectors item, but maybe not for someone who wanted the original album cover look.

Buying an album can be tricky. So many choices. Original issue, reissue, remastered. Which one is best? I prefer the original issue. This record has no scratches on it. Amazing quality. I'm super happy.

2015 REMASTERS (with old look)

Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2021

i bought the Roth era 2015 remasters (mostly from amazon) and what i got were cds that look exactly like cds from 30+ years ago (with the black cd backing and spine) The back cover of them are a little different that the amazon pics too. through days of research, i have found these are European re-issue remasters. these ARE a remaster, they just DON'T LOOK like it. they will have the new warner label (in bold print) that have the word WARNER above the word RECORDS with an almost circle just to its left. the last 5 digits of the barcode printed on the SIDE SPINE are:
Self/Titled: _55243 / VH2: _54918 / WaCF: _54956 / FW: _54970 / DD: _54994
IMO these do sound better than the originals as they are louder, cleaner and clearer, wider soundscape and i can hear greater definition between vocals and other instruments. these might not be perfect but i have heard worse attempts in remasters.
JUST BE WARNED THAT THESE WILL LOOK LIKE THE ORIGINALS, CHECK BARCODES BEFORE OPENING AND MAKE SURE IT SAYS 2015 IN THE PRODUCT DESCRIPTION BEFORE 'ADDING TO CART'.

Die Platte habe ich damals kurz nach Erscheinen in London gekauft und einen ganzen Tag mit mir herumgeschleppt, weil die Jugendherberge so elend weit außerhalb lag. Anhören konnte ich mir das gute Stück dann erst 14 Tage später zu Hause, weil die Unterkunft zwar ein Klavier aber keinen Plattenspieler hatte.
Das kann sich heute keiner mehr vorstellen: Kein Internet, keine Handys nur ein Walkman und der kann natürlich keine Platte abspielen :)
Die Musik macht richtig Laune, ist auch super zum Laufen geeignet und das Remastering höre ich kaum.
