VAN HALEN - The Studio Albums 1978-1984 Box Set

VAN HALEN - The Studio Albums 1978-1984 Box Set "Permanently Cancelled And Will Never Be Released In The United States




Although Amazon still has it listed (stating "a release date has not
yet been set for this title") the official VAN HALEN Store says that The
Studio Albums 1978-1984 box set has been cancelled.





Their explanation reads as follows: "On February 6th, we began
taking pre-orders for the Van Halen Box Set, which was to be released on
March 26th (per the record company, Warner Bros/Rhino). However, on Feb
10th, the record company informed us that the March 26 release date has
been canceled. At that time, they did not know if the release date was
simply being pushed back, or if the release was to be canceled
altogether. Today we received the final word from Warner Bros; the Box
Set has indeed been permanently cancelled and will never be released in
the United States."





The Studio Albums 1978-1984 was originally described as follows:


This Limited Edition six-CD box set documents the band’s indelible
history from their self-titled 1978 debut until the 1984 album, which
was to be singer David Lee Roth’s last record with the band until 2012.
Included in this box are many of the band’s best-known songs - ‘Ain’t
Talkin’ ‘Bout Love’, ‘ Runnin’ With The Devil’, ‘Jump’, ‘Dance The Night
Away’, ‘Unchained’, ‘Everybody Wants Some’, ‘Hot For Teacher’ and
‘Panama’.


The Studio Albums 1978-1984 is a no-frills package of VH’s
incredible era with original vocalist David Lee Roth at the helm,
remastered and neatly packaged in clamshell box. Featuring the
now-immortal six-string styles of Eddie Van Halen, the devastating
rhythm section of bassist Michael Anthony and drummer Alex Van Halen and
the clean production of Ted Templeman, this box is a crash course in
BIG ROCK.
