Van Halen's 5150 Receives 40th Anniversary Expanded Edition
"Rhino is rolling out three configurations on March 27th including a multi-format box set (LP/3CD/Blu-ray), a 2-LP vinyl release, and a 2-CD digipak. Each features the original album's audio remastered directly from the original master tapes by the band's longtime engineer Donn Landee, as well as alternate edits, extended versions, and era-specific live material. The deluxe box set expands on that with the addition of a CD containing a full, previously unreleased concert: "New Haven Veteran Memorial Coliseum - New Haven, CT (August 27, 1986).""
"5150 marked the introduction of Sammy Hagar as Van Halen's frontman and continued the band's commercial success in the post David Lee Roth-era, debuting at the top of the Billboard 200 to become the group's first No. 1 LP. It eventually earned 6x Platinum certification in the US on the strength of the singles "Why Can't This Be Love," "Dreams," and "Best of Both Worlds" - all chart toppers."
Rhino will reissue Van Halen's 5150 on March 27 in three configurations: an LP/3CD/Blu-ray deluxe box set, a 2-LP vinyl release, and a 2-CD digipak. All formats contain audio remastered from the original master tapes by longtime engineer Donn Landee, along with alternate edits, extended versions, and era-specific live material. The deluxe box adds a CD with a previously unreleased full concert from New Haven, CT (August 27, 1986) plus a Blu-ray featuring Live Without a Net updated to HD and promotional music videos. 5150 introduced Sammy Hagar as frontman, debuted at No. 1, and achieved 6× Platinum driven by major singles.
