Did you open that Van Halen album yet or what?

Why, yes I did, actually. And I even have a few pics! 😄

So, I have had absolutely zero interesting to post the last few days, so I figured I would share a few snaps of the interior of the Van Halen remaster of For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge that I bought recently.

It is very nicely packaged in a huge gatefold sleeve/box, and it includes a vinyl copy of the remastered album, a remastered CD, a Blu Ray of the Dallas ’91 free concert, and a CD of that show as well. Also included is a photo booklet with some great shots of the band in their early 90s incarnation.

CDs and Blu Ray.

Photo book with some selected images below.

All in all, this is a fantastic package, and I would not be upset at all if Warner Bros/Rhino did this with other VH releases. Hell, do it for all of them as far as I am concerned!

So, that was my special treat for this week. I hope you enjoyed the quick look and have a great day!

        I only have a bunch of old CDs. I bought this collection for the blurays and CDs, figuring one of these days I’ll snag a turntable too 😄
