Description
"Women and Children First" is the third studio album by American hard rock band Van Halen, released on March 26th, 1980 on Warner Bros. Records. Produced by Ted Templeman, it was the first to feature compositions written solely by the band, and is described by critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine as "[the] record where the group started to get heavier, both sonically and, to a lesser extent, thematically." Kerrang! magazine listed the album at #30 among the "100 Greatest Heavy Metal Albums of All Time", and Rolling Stone listed the album at #36 in their list of "The 100 Greatest Metal Albums of All Time". Billy Corgan of The Smashing Pumpkins has stated "One of the most influential albums in his life growing up". This is the 1980 US Vinyl LP pressing on the Warner Bros. label. It is a record club issue. It is SEALED and in NEAR MINT CONDITION. Please see pictures. Sorry for the glare! Included is a poster of a photograph by Helmut Newton featuring Roth chained to a fence. The catalog # on the spine is: HS 3415. The bar code matrix # is: 0 7599-23415-1. Record has been stored in a heavy duty anvil case since 2006. Looks amazing after 40 years!
