RhinoBack in March, Van Halen released remastered editions of its 1978 self-titled debut album and its landmark 1984 studio effort 1984. Now, the band has announced that the four other studio albums it made during singer David Lee Roth‘s initial tenure with the group are available for pre-order and will be reissued on July 10.
Remastered versions of 1979’s Van Halen II, 1980’s Women and Children First, 1981’s Fair Warning and 1982’s Diver Down can be purchased on CD, 180-gram vinyl LP and as digital downloads. The albums have been remastered using the original analog tapes.
The official Van Halen store is selling bundles featuring the four new reissues, as well as a six-album set that also includes Van Halen and 1984.
As previously reported, Van Halen has lined up a lengthy North American tour that’s scheduled to run from a July 5 concert in Auburn, Washington, through an October 4 show in Hollywood, California. The Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band will serve as the opening act throughout the trek.
