DIVER DOWN (VINYL) (2015 REMASTER)

Remastered Directly From The Analogue Master Recordings!
'Diver Down' was the fifth studio album by hard rock band Van Halen, originally released in 1982. The album spent 65 weeks on the album chart in the United States and had, by 1998, sold four million copies in the US.
Of the twelve songs on the album, five are covers, the most popular being the cover of Roy Orbison's "(Oh) Pretty Woman." Also a notable cover hit was the Martha Reeves & the Vandellas' single, "Dancing in the Streets."
Mastering engineer Chris Bellman, who remastered the original albums for Bernie Grundman Studios, Hollywood, CA, was enlisted for this new version. In order to produce the original sound the band intended, Bellman cut straight from the quarter-inch tapes.
Formed in Los Angeles in 1974, Van Halen changed the rock and roll landscape forever with the release of their influential and wildly successful eponymous debut album in 1978; an album that would go on to define a generation and sell more than 10 million copies in the US. The band then subsequently produced a repertoire of hits that remain some of the strongest and most influential rock songs ever written that fans will admire for decades to come. With more than 75 million albums sold worldwide, and more No. 1 hits on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart than any other artist, the band's record of achievement is hard to top.
