Van Halen Vintage Signed Debut Album.
Signed by Eddie Van Halen, David Lee Roth, Alex Van Halen, and Michael Anthony in a grease pen.
The band had begun recording demos for their first album almost two years prior to its release, but initially failed to garner interest from labels. After building their audience on the Los Angeles circuit at venues like the Whisky a Go Go and the Starwood, Mo Ostin and Ted Templeman signed them to Warner Brothers. The album’s initial critical reception was primarily negative, but it quickly gained popularity and became a major commercial success—achieving Platinum status in October of 1978. The record is now one of the best-selling albums in the United States.
Incredibly rare signed album.
Condition: Good condition.
Authentication: Roger Epperson (REAL) Letter of Authenticity and a Gotta Have Rock and Roll Certificate of Authenticity.
