This Rhino.com exclusive bundle features the FOR UNLAWFUL CARNAL KNOWLEDGE (2LP/2CD/Blu-ray) + 4 7” Singles. Originally released in June 1991, FOR UNLAWFUL CARNAL KNOWLEDGE was an immediate success. It reached triple platinum certification and earned Van Halen its first Grammy® Award for Favorite Heavy Metal/Hard Rock Album. Producer and engineer Bernie Grundman expertly remastered and cut lacquers for this edition, ensuring pristine sound quality. THE EXPANDED EDITION includes previously unreleased alternate versions of “Right Now” and “The Dream Is Over.” The main attraction, however, has to be the previously unreleased concert footage from Van Halen’s December 4, 1991, performance in Dallas. Captured during the “For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge Tour,” this electrifying show is a powerful example of Van Halen’s unparalleled stage presence. The show’s setlist mixes new songs (“Judgement Day” and “Poundcake”) with songs from 5150 and OU812 (“Best Of Both Worlds” and “Finish What Ya Started”). The band also played “Panama,” a hit from its time with singer David Lee Roth, plus two of Hagar’s hits, “I Can’t Drive 55” and “There’s Only One Way To Rock.” In addition, the Blu-ray includes the official music videos for “Poundcake,” “Runaround,” “Right Now,” and “Top Of The World.” Finally, the remastered album is included in the set as a double LP, featuring an etching of the Van Halen logo on the fourth side. The four 7” singles include “Poundcake” / “Pleasure Dome,” “Top Of The World” / “In ‘N’ Out,” “Right Now” (Organ Version) / “Man On A Mission,” and “Right Now” (Guitar Version) / “The Dream Is Over” (Instrumental Version). Release date is July 12th
I don’t know how much negociations it took for getting this blu-ray out but it’s more than time.On top Al is autionning most of his gear and he’s getting his autobio out.Maybe we’ll get more blu-ray concerts in a near future.I truly hope so.
The 4th side of the vinyl is etched with the Van Hagar logo. Etching side 4 pretty is common these days for albums that are too long for 2 sides, but not long enough for 4 sides. Personally, I’d rather see them fill out side 4 with some of the bonus tracks.
