Van Halen / The Collection II
5CD and 5LP boxes with rarities
Van Halen will release The Collection II, a new box spotlighting the band’s second incarnation, with singer Sammy Hagar, guitarist Eddie Van Halen, drummer Alex Van Halen, and bassist Michael Anthony.
The package, which is available in 5CD or a 5LP vinyl variants, includes newly remastered versions of four studio albums. They are as follows: 5150 (1986), OU812 (1988), For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge (1991) and Balance (1995).
The bonus disc in this set features a selection of rarities recorded between 1989 and 2004. This exclusive compilation assembles eight tracks from this era, including ‘Crossing Over’, the B-Side to Balance’s ‘Can’t Stop Lovin’ You’ and two songs from the Twister Soundtrack – ‘Humans Being’ and ‘Respect The Wind’.
This remastering utilised the original master tapes and the process was overseen by the band’s longtime engineer, Donn Landee.
The Collection II will be released on 6 October via Rhino.
