VAN HALEN - Balance (30th Anniversary Expanded Edition w/ Etching) - 2LP - Black Vinyl [AUG 15]

2LP - 140g Black Vinyl housed in a Gatefold Sleeve. This expanded edition features remastered audio across 2 LPs for improved sound quality and an exclusive vinyl etching on Side D. Includes the instrumental “Baluchitherium” — included on vinyl for the first time since 1995.

Originally released in 1995, Balance marked the final studio album from the classic Van Halen lineup of Sammy Hagar, Eddie Van Halen, Alex Van Halen and Michael Anthony. The Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum record debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 and spawned the Top 40 hit “Can’t Stop Lovin’ You,” along with fan favourites “Don’t Tell Me (What Love Can Do)” and “Amsterdam.”

To celebrate its 30th anniversary, Balance returns in a newly remastered and expanded edition, available across multiple formats. The deluxe box includes 2LPs, 2CDs, a Blu-ray, and a book. Highlights include eight previously unreleased live tracks from Wembley Stadium (June 24, 1995), the reinstated instrumental “Baluchitherium” on vinyl for the first time since 1995, and six remastered promo/live videos on Blu-ray.

A must-have for Van Halen collectors, these definitive editions preserve the legacy of Balance with upgraded audio, archival rarities, and visual storytelling.
