So, I don’t have much interesting to post today (still putting my pic post together), and this probably isn’t that exciting to most of you, but it is to me. 😀
I went to get the mail the other day, and something I had been waiting for finally arrived:
It’s a remaster of Van Halen’s For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge album on vinyl, but here’s the kicker…
I don’t own a turntable.
So, why the hell did I buy it, you ask?
Because along with the album is a limited edition remastered 2-CD set that includes the remastered album, plus a live performance from the West End Marketplace in Dallas, TX from 1991 that was previously unavailable officially.
I may or may not have had a copy of this prior, but to have it officially released is downright awesome.
The set also includes a blu-ray of the Dallas show, and HD remasters of the videos released to promote the album.
I have not unboxed it yet. I am waiting until I am off work and can truly enjoy it.
The t-shirt I got just because I thought it was cool. 😎😄
It’s an EVH “78” t-shirt, which features Eddie’s iconic Frankenstein in it’s 1978 configuration and paint job on the back, commemorating the debut of VH’s landmark first album.
Also, fittingly, this post airs on 3/16, which also happens to be Wolfgang Van Halen’s birthday. Happy Birthday, Wolf! 🤘😎🤘
The following instrumental was written by Eddie for his beloved son.
So, that’s all I got for today. I hope everyone has a great Sunday. Personally, I am off to bed!
