UCR is giving away an autographed copy of Van Halen‘s newest live album.
One lucky reader (or listener) will receive a brand-new double-vinyl edition of Live in New Haven, CT 1986, signed by Sammy Hagar. A vinyl slipmat featuring the Hagar-era Van Halen logo is also included.
The album features a show from the 5150 tour, the first to feature Hagar as the band’s singer. “When we hit the stage it was like an atomic bomb just dropped,” bassist Michael Anthony said when remembering the crowd response to the new lineup’s early shows.
This concert was included (on CD only) as part of the recent expanded box set edition of the 5150 album, and adds two songs – “Good Enough” and “Wild Thing” – to the set list featured on the band’s Live Without a Net home video.
The vinyl edition of Live in New Haven, CT 1986 arrives in stores on June 5.
