Van Halen — 1978

A debut that reinvented rock guitar via Eddie's fretboard fireworks. Explosive and fun. A hard-rock landmark. Where Van Halen's run begins — a strong starting point.

On vinyl: Vintage copies and modern reissues both circulate — worth comparing condition and remaster notes before you buy.
