The upcoming set includes newly remastered versions of four multi-platinum studio albums, along with a selection of rarities recorded between 1989 and 2004. All the music in the set was mastered directly from the original master tapes, a process overseen by the band’s longtime engineer, Donn Landee.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e-\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTHE COLLECTION II is the long-awaited sequel to The Collection, a compilation released in 2015 that focused on the six studio albums recorded by the band’s original line-up, which featured singer David Lee Roth. THE COLLECTION II picks up where its predecessor left off and covers the four consecutive #1 albums released during the Hagar era: 5150 (1986), OU812 (1988), FOR UNLAWFUL CARNAL KNOWLEDGE (1991), and BALANCE (1995).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e-\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTHE COLLECTION II concludes with STUDIO RARITIES 1989-2004, an exclusive compilation that assembles eight gems from the Hagar era for the first time. Among these rarities is “Crossing Over,” the B-Side to Balance’s “Can’t Stop Lovin’ You”, and the band’s only non-album B-side. The compilation boasts other exceptional highlights, including the band’s cover of Little Feat’s “A Apolitical Blues” and the instrumental “Baluchitherium,” which were originally left off the vinyl versions of OU812 and BALANCE, respectively. Additionally, the set features two songs the band contributed to the Twister Soundtrack – “Humans Being” and the Grammy?- nominated “Respect The Wind.” Rounding out the set are “It’s About Time,” “Up For Breakfast,” and “Learning To See,” which were recorded during the band’s temporary reunion with Hagar in 2004. All three debuted that year on Van Halen’s second greatest hits collection, THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eVAN HALEN \/ COLLECTION II\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGood Enough (2023 Remaster)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Why Can't This Be Love (2023 Remaster)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Get Up (2023 Remaster)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Dreams (2023 Remaster)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Summer Nights (2023 Remaster)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Best of Both Worlds (2023 Remaster)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Love Walks In (2023 Remaster)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e 5150 (2023 Remaster)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Inside (2023 Remaster)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Mine All Mine (2023 Remaster)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e When It's Love (2023 Remaster)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e A.F.U.
