Van Halen's winning track record with cover songs can be traced back to its 1978 diamond-platinum debut. The ambitious approach, which shows off the band’s diversity, creativity, flair, and fun, takes precedence like never before on Diver Down. Featuring five covers, three of which became radio staples, the album sprung from the band’s desire to remain relevant while taking a breather after four massively successful records and their respective tours. More than four million copies later, suffice it to say Diver Down achieved its goal.
Sourced from the original analog tapes, pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing, and strictly limited to 7,500 numbered copies, Mobile Fidelity’s UltraDisc One-Step 180g 45RPM 2LP box set presents the 1982 album in definitive sound. All the traits you associate with hallmark Van Halen — dynamic energy, distinctive tonalities, vivid detail, sensory-invigorating immediacy, rhythmic attack, tongue-in-cheek playfulness, midrange punch, throttling intensity — emerge with involving presence and uncanny realism.
