OH MAN !!! Cannot wait !!

This is THE ONE that I really want to sound fantastic. Thus far, the MOFI Van Halen releases haven’t lived up to the hype, IMHO. Fair Warning is the panicle of Van Halen’s run - peak creativity, still had the “harder” sound, and still fighting their way up. Fingers crossed.“Human beings are born with different capacities. If they are free, they are not equal. And if they are equal, they are not free.”

This is the one I have been waiting for as well, I like the MOFI versions thus far, with that said, Michael Jacksons Thriller, and especially Off The Wall, blow them away. -
Van Halen, just like Zeppelin, is great music, but they weren't concerned about SQ during the recording. I'm sure it will be the best version you've heard, but temper expectations.

How many flies need to be buzzing a dead horse before you guys stop beating it? -
So, it doesn’t look like the SACD has been released yet.
My One Step Vinyl shipped today.. -

I listened to my Remaster (HDCD) version about a week ago. It actually sounded better than I remembered. I'm sure this is better. You're in for a treat!

So, you were given fair warning that your package was one foot out the door. If you pass some time Sunday afternoon in the park, Monday will be here before you know it. I'm sure we will hear about it later when it arrives. Make sure Chester isn't unchained when the mailman gets there. If it is late and push comes to shove, you can always spin the vinyl in the mean (streets) time. Well, that's enough typing for me. I am going to go watch the two dirty movies that I ordered: "Sinner's Swing" and "So This Is Love?" -
Mailmen give Chester heartburn❤️🔥

Very witty my friend, very witty..😎 -
I'm sure you remember in the past the preorder in most cases was cheaper. I didn't want to gamble that the cost would go up $15 verses the preorder price, that would be a healthy chunk of change when buying all of them. The good thing is that Music Direct doesn't charge until they ship. They have not charged me a shipping cost yet only shipping one disc at a time. -
Dweezil doesn't get the guitar credit he deserves. The man rocks and is a mountain of information.
I thought this was pretty good musically, I'm torn on the singer. -

Mine is to be delivered tomorrow! This is the first time I've not had to call and ask. In fact i opened up my email this morning about the tracking number and had no idea it was out.

I didn't know till Thursday. They delivered my Heart SACD on Tuesday, I had no idea that was coming. Not sure why they just didn't ship these all together..
Now, I'll WAIT for 1984.

44 years? Yeah, that's a long wait for sure.

I think my days of pre-order with Music Direct are OVER. What has it been 3-4 years? I still have other SACD's from other manufactures that are more than 2 years old. In the past the pre-order got you a discount over the actual selling price once the item hit the market, WE didn't even get that.
The other SACD's are Alice Cooper Welcome to my nightmare and Stone Temple pilots.

The Van Halen pre order has been the worst, but I don't think it would have been that bad, had they not advertised the pre order for all of them at the same time.

Actually only half of them I'd love to get all the VanHagar as well. Sammy and Eddie put out some great albums! -
