Sure thing Jer! I've wanted to do a master "Roth mix" tape set for ages so this will finally be that long awaited opportunity.
I'm figuring I can boil it all down to two solid C-90's of all my favorite tracks out of the 6 albums.
I read about those HD tracks myself; just today. Seems the fan base is all over the map on how those sound.
The HDCD remasters that are now over ten years old didn't do for me at all so I passed on them; I'm hoping these discs are more normally equalized.
Not a huge Eagles fan but there's also a box set of their first 6 albums that was recently released by WB/Rhino as well..

Of course you are, and I know that Tony. Ive seen Van Hagar live... sucked.. badly. Eddie made up for that though when I saw the reunion tour in 07 with DLR. Ive said it before, but that show took the #1 spot for shows ive seen, and sadly put my fav band ACDC to a close second. I also have never really been a Hagar fan, but there was a couple goodies from him during his spot with VH. Balance, probably being his best.
I have all VH albums, except for F.U.C.K, and Right Here Right Now, as well as several of the cd's, I have to say though, remasters havent impressed me all that much lately. The Diary Of A Madman Anniversary remaster is far from impressive. Let us know what you think of these when they arrive.

No doubt Ben!
My hope on these remasters is for something more "leveled up" and hopefully a tad bit more generous on dynamic range than the CDs from the '90s.
If the EQ isn't out of whack then I'll be happy for the small amount of coin spent. Plus, I've never owned the complete Roth album set
on CD so having that will make for some happy recording time. I'll most certainly post up some type of mini-review
once I've had a thorough listen and mix-down my first tape.
As far as the rest of the VH catalog goes, I have a handful of song favorites spanning that time period, most notably because of Eddie's riffing.
I also find that 'Balance' to be one of their best of the bunch, that and 'OU812'. The build up on 'Sucker in a Three Piece' is
quintessential Eddie! And believe it or not, I'm probably one of only 10 people that actually likes 'Van Halen III' with Gary Cherone.
'Fire in the Hole' rips loud in my world!
