Latest Van Halen news

"The Very Best of Van Halen" will be a 2 disc set released in the US on July 20th. I stole the tracklisting below from the news page at www.van-halen.com and it won't necessarily be in this order:

Quite a bit there that was also on Best of Volume 1 back in 1996, but this looks like a much more comprehensive package with three new songs, so I'll pick it up anyway. Now when will someone at Warner Bros get a bloody clue and remaster the Hagar albums as well?

What happened to 'Best of Vol. 2'? Or did they just skip that and go straight to the 'Very Best of'? Is there any Fair Warning tracks? They never seem to include those.

How good is Love Walks In

 

[Spruce Goose]

That has shitloads more than the 96 release. Can't believe Hot for Teacher was left off of that one.

I wish that they would have just released The Best of Volume 2 though.

 

[Wrathchild]

Just the one track from Fair Warning by the looks of it (Unchained). Good song, but where the hell is Mean Street?
