A great live album have it on a double cd set that I bought when it first came out. A beautiful looking 4 album set , enjoy. And a big hi to your little kitty cat 🤗
Thank you so very much my friend for stopping by and checking out the pickup. I think the cd is coming for me as well, I looked at it the other day and would like a copy for the car. The cat told me to tell you “meow” which I believe is hello! Take care and enjoy the rest of your weekend! ~ Jeff
Hello there Jeff. Right off the bat. Seeing any reissue released with extra tracks is a huge bonus. I never knew that it was never released on vinyl. But I can guess why. If you remember. The early to mid-nineties was like the height of the CD boom. The vinyl sections in our local record chain stores were down to the corners of the floors. I can remember Tower Records having three floors of CD's and one little corner of vinyl. But it did not bother me that much. I was buying the new and used releases for short money. Plus the new releases were very short printed. Which made quite a few of them collectible years later. I would guess that Warner Bros went for the format that was selling the most in 1993. Excellent review Jeff. The Carnal Knowledge pressings look very cool in the background. Just a short note. I saw VH fourteen times live. Starting in May of 1979 at the Orpheum Theater in Boston. Later that year I saw them at the Cape Cod Coliseum. Then on every tour after that including Sammy's first tour with the band. Did you ever see them live with DLR?~ Rob/Boston
Hey Rob, so great hearing back from you again, hope everything was okay with you yesterday. I always enjoy bonus tracks not found elsewhere on albums myself. Not many bands were releasing albums on vinyl around this time or as you mentioned limited pressings which now go for crazy prices for originals if you can find them at all. I fell for the seduction of cds like most people but never stopped buying vinyl or cassettes as I enjoyed all formats including 8-tracks as you well know. As long as it was good music I was able to listen since I kept and maintained my equipment to the best of my ability so I didn’t have to buy the same music I already had on cd. The cds were nice for home entertainment but didn’t travel well like the analog tapes did in cars, well at least not at first when they came out…lol. Fourteen times seeing VH, 😮 that’s amazing! I have never seen them live, I really would have loved to see them perform but was never in the cards for me growing up. With limited funds back then I always chose to buy albums or other formats and have music for life instead of just for the one night entertainment but regret those decisions now…lol! Thanks so much for watching and the kind words as always in your comments my friend! Take care and hope you had a great weekend! ~ Jeff
Fantastic album !! I love Van Halen !! Bonus tracks are always a plus !! A 19 minute track , wow ! But that ones from the era when you had long 10 min intros lol ! Good looking album ! Fantastic sharing amigo !!
Hey Jay, yes could not pass this one up, like you… I was always a fan with Dave or Sammy didn’t really matter. Both eras of the band put out some great music! Thanks so much for stopping by, always a pleasure! ~ Jeff
Hey Scott so good to hear from you! I haven’t heard from you in a while hope all is well brother and you are enjoying your weekend! Took a little break for a few months but slowly getting back with some pickup videos! Take care and always a pleasure hearing from you! ~ Jeff
Hey Jeff..... Great score....u did good holding out for the black wax imho. Kinda surprised this one had no vinyl release until last year. Picked up a south american press of "For unlawful...." On a trip to Brasil about 20 years ago. I understand that one has seen a recent vinyl reish as well. Keep the great vids coming....cheers my Friend🔥🔥🔥
Hey Lee great to hear from you brother! Yes some things just work out for a reason. Wasn’t expecting to get this one in vinyl after missing out on the limited RSD release but it’s all good. The Unlawful was late getting into my collection, found a colored reissue in red that sounds amazing a few years ago and didn’t realize how good that album actually is! Been enjoying these Sammy era reissues from the vinyl boxset and now this one was a bit of a splurge and a treat! Thanks so much for watching and the kind words! Take care and talk soon! ~ Jeff
Hi Jeff… great pick up ! I got the Record Store Day version last year. I am loving all of these Van Halen reissues lately. The For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge deluxe from this past month is really good. I hope they do more deluxe versions of their albums. Hey did you see the 40th anniversary of Anamalize on Kissonline ? Thanks Jeff. Have a great weekend ! Chez
Hey there Chez, I was really hoping to grab the 30th anniversary from RSD but at least this one was released so it’s all good, congrats on your score however, very nice! Yes so glad to see the Sammy era getting the recognition it deserves, would love to see more deluxe editions to as they are more reasonable than the KISS boxsets! Speaking of KISS, yes I saw the 40th of Animalize and once again a sell out before I even got the email on the picture disc and now it’s bundled with shirts on the other vinyl so I will be enjoying my original copy and the reissue from 2014. You picking anything up or are you set as well? Take care and enjoy your weekend as well! ~ Jeff
Good evening Jeff. Just watched to bounce over and say hello. I got to run out for a while. But I will be back to check out this new VH review. Quick question. Was this original release from 1993 out of print for a while or tough to find on vinyl?~ Rob/Boston
Hey there Rob, Nice of you to pop in and say hello my friend! Not out of print or hard to find in vinyl but up until last year’s RSD it was only available in the cd (without the bonus tracks) format so it’s a first time pressing. Hopefully talk with you soon Rob and you are out enjoying your weekend of pleasure not work. Take care! ~ Talk with you soon! ~ Jeff
Hi Jeff, Frank from Channel 33 RPM did a great review of the Deluxe 2CD, 2 LP and Blue Ray of For Unlawful etc. Just curious if that is on your to buy list. Black vinyl is good. Coloured vinyl can sound noisier than black vinyl.
Hey Bobby I did watch his review and was actually holding a copy of that in my hands at the record store when I was picking up this live copy for around the same price as this one. As I have 2 copies of that album in vinyl already, one in colored and one in black along with a copy in cd so before walking out I returned it to the shelf. So to answer your question…probably not. This is a first time on vinyl and I never had the original cd so I was excited to get this as it was a new listen and a vinyl copy as well which is fantastic when it works out like that. I will probably pick up the cd version of this but unfortunately they don’t have the bonus tracks on like this does. Great to hear from you as always, hope you have a terrific weekend! Take care and talk soon! ~ Jeff
