Description

"Van Halen II" is the second studio album by the American hard rock band Van Halen. Released on March 23, 1979, it peaked at #6 on the Billboard 200 and spawned the singles "Dance the Night Away" and "Beautiful Girls". As of 2004, it has sold almost 6 million copies in the United States. Critical reaction to the album has been positive as well, with the Rolling Stone Album Guide praising the feel-good, party atmosphere of the songs. Recording of the album happened at Sunset Studio less than a year after the release of the band's eponymous debut album. Recording of the album began on December 10, 1978, just one week after completing their first world tour, and was complete within a week. The black-and-yellow guitar on the back of the album known as "Bumblebee" is buried with Pantera guitarist Dimebag Darrell, who was killed December 8, 2004. Eddie Van Halen (RIP) placed it in his KISS Kasket at his funeral because Darrell has said it was his favorite. This is the 1979 ORIGINAL (NOT 180 GRAM RE-ISSUE) US Vinyl LP on Warner Bros. Records. Record still has shrink-wrap on, and is in NEAR MINT CONDITION. Please see pictures. Sorry for the glare! The catalog # on the spine is: HS3312. There is no bar code matrix #. Record has been stored in a heavy duty anvil case since 2006. Looks amazing after 41 years! Record will be shipped following business day as soon as payment is received. Media Mail WILL TAKE AT LEAST 3 TO 5 WEEKS DUE TO BEING SHIPPED BY BOAT, NOT AIR, from Hawaii. Priority Mail is $16 from Hawaii.
