Description: Per Wikipedia, 1984 (MCMLXXXIV) is the sixth studio album by Van Halen, released on January 9, 1984. It was the last Van Halen studio album until A Different Kind of Truth (2012) to feature lead singer David Lee Roth, who left the band in 1985 following creative differences. This is the final full-length album to feature all four original members (the Van Halen brothers Eddie and Alex, Roth, and Michael Anthony). Roth returned in 2007, but Eddie's son Wolfgang replaced Anthony in 2006. 1984 and Van Halen's self-titled album are the band's best-selling albums, each having sold more than 10 million copies in the United States. 1984 was well received by music critics. Rolling Stone ranked the album number 81 on its list of the "100 Greatest Albums of the 1980s". It reached number two on the Billboard 200 and remained there for five weeks, kept off the top spot by Michael Jackson's Thriller, on which guitarist Eddie Van Halen made a guest performance. 1984 produced four singles, including "Jump", Van Halen's only number-one single on the Billboard's Hot 100; the top-20 hits "Panama" and "I'll Wait"; and the MTV favorite "Hot For Teacher". The album was certified Diamond by the RIAA in 1999 for ten million shipped copies in the U.S. 1984 is the second of two Van Halen albums to have achieved RIAA Diamond status, selling over ten million copies in the United States. "Jump" went on to be certified Gold in April 1984, only months after the album's release. The album up for bid is a January, 1984 release by Warner Brothers Records and was licensed to Columbia Records as a club edition and was manufactured at Columbia’s Carrollton pressing facility. It consists of nine tracks with a run time of 33+ minutes. The cover is in VG+ condition and is essentially flawless. There is no wear along the edges and both front and back covers are without fault. Both covers are glossy and the artwork and graphics are vibrant. The paper inner sleeve is original and intact and in VG+ condition. There is artwork and graphics with production information on the sleeve, but tracks listings are absent from the sleeve and outer covers. The recording has been cleaned, tested and recorded using Audacity. All tracks are free of skips and there is no significant background noise such as “pops’ or “clicks”. The sound is strong and clean. The record surfaces are free of any scratches or scuffs and show very little wear. I am the original owner of this recording and can attest to its limited number of plays <10. This is an exceptional recording along with outstanding covers and inner sleeves. This recording will satisfy the expectations of most any collector.
