Leveraging years of experience as a tight-knit live group, drawing on material initially recorded for its professional demos with Kiss leader Gene Simmons, and hitting the studio just days after completing a 10-month tour, the quartet completed the 1979 LP in under a month while inviting fans to \"dance the night away.\" Boy, did they ever. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Mastered from the original analogue tapes, pressed on MoFi SuperVinyl, and limited to 7,500 copies, Mobile Fidelity's UltraDisc One-Step 180g 45RPM 2LP set of \u003ci\u003eVan Halen II\u003c\/i\u003e lets it all hang out.

The ambitious approach, which shows off the band’s diversity, creativity, flair, and fun, takes precedence like never before on \u003cem\u003eDiver Down\u003c\/em\u003e. Featuring five covers, three of which became radio staples, the album sprung from the band’s desire to remain relevant while taking a breather after four massively successful records and their respective tours. More than four million copies later, suffice it to say \u003cem\u003eDiver Down\u003c\/em\u003e achieved its goal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSourced from the original analog tapes, pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing, and strictly limited to 7,500 numbered copies, Mobile Fidelity’s UltraDisc One-Step 180g 45RPM 2LP box set presents the 1982 album in definitive sound.

Even if you listen at lower levels, the advanced degrees of separation, imaging, soundstaging, and fullness will grant you a fresh perspective on a record that began under the auspices of a one-off single.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe premium packaging of this UD1S pressing befits its collectible status. Housed in a deluxe slipcase, it features special foil-stamped jackets and faithful-to-the-original graphics that illuminate the splendor of the recording. Aurally and visually, this UD1S reissue is made for discerning listeners who desire to immerse themselves in everything involved with the album, from the naval-inspired cover art to the interior photos, which range from a spirited collage to a panoramic shot of Van Halen thrilling a crowd of tens of thousands in Florida.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndeed, the group’s punishing live schedule — coupled with making four LPs in four years — prompted Van Halen to seek some refuge from the road and studio. The break didn’t last long. Vocalist David Lee Roth thought the band could placate the record label’s desire for new music by interpreting Martha and the Vandellas’ “Dancing in the Street” and issuing it as a seven-inch single. Guitarist Eddie Van Halen, intent on not simply replicating another artist’s song but transforming it, suggested Roy Orbison’s “(Oh) Pretty Woman” when he couldn’t get an immediate handle on a riff for the Motown tune. Case closed? Not so fast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the joyous romp through the Orbison classic crashed the Billboard charts and climbed into the Top 15, Warner Bros. brass told Van Halen it needed a full-length effort to take advantage of demand. And so the loose, diverse feel of \u003cem\u003eDiver Down\u003c\/em\u003e took shape, with the band exploring a wide palette of influences and entertaining widescreen desires on what stands as its most carefree set of its career.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDiver Down\u003c\/em\u003e may be best known for the three electrifying covers that still ring out on FM airwaves today, yet what makes the record much more than a quickly thrown-together collection of odds ‘n’ ends is the vast assortment of styles represented — and the group’s all-in performances. Not to mention some of the subtle messaging. To wit: The band’s hot-wired take on the Kinks’ “Where Have All the Good Times Gone!” doubles as a jab to the pretenders crowding the music scenes, and a call for the kind of authenticity and skill Van Halen brought to every note it played. Equally pointed, the barbershop-quartet send-up of“Happy Trails” functions as a quasi-parody and the quartet’s winking way of having a laugh with those who can’t take a good joke.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBookended in between those tracks exists a hodgepodge of fun, exuberant material. Consider the three standout interludes. Written by Roth on a synthesizer and anchored by Eddie Van Halen twirling the tremolo bar on his guitar and rubbing a can of Schlitz against its strings amid substantial feedback, the menacing “Intruder” conjures the vibe of Van Halen’s preceding Fair Warning. On the opposite end of the spectrum, the visionary “Little Guitars (Intro)” sees Eddie Van Halen wielding a nylon-string guitar and replicating a classically informed flamenco technique by quickly tremolo-picking the high strings with his right hand and taking his left hand to orchestrate hammer-ons and pull-offs on the guitar neck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlways a step ahead, the pioneering instrumentalist devised “Cathedral” long in advance of the \u003cem\u003eDiver Down\u003c\/em\u003e sessions. He tailored it for the record by fingering notes on the fretboard with his left hand and using his right hand to simultaneously roll the volume knob on and off. Doing the latter eventually caused the knob to freeze at the end of the second take, yet the intended effect — a piece that resembled the sound of a church organ — was successfully captured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHaving peaked at No. 3 and spent more than a year on the charts, \u003cem\u003eDiver Down\u003c\/em\u003e also includes atomic-punk fury (“Hang ‘Em High”), gentle tranquility (“Secrets”), and a stripped-down jaunt through the old jazz ditty “Big Bad Bill (Is Sweet William Now)” complete with a guest contribution from the Van Halens’ father, Jan, on clarinet. With the album title and artwork aptly hinted that something was happening underneath the plain visibility of the surface — while simultaneously serving as a sexual double entendre — \u003cem\u003eDiver Down\u003c\/em\u003e remains the band’s most overlooked and surprise-filled platter.

It is for listeners who want to immerse themselves in everything about the album, including the iconic cover art that quickly became as associated with \u003cem\u003e1984\u003c\/em\u003e as the music itself. Regularly cited among the 100 best album covers of all time, Margo Nahas' illustration of a crying angel holding a cigarette — blending the sacred and rebellious — captures Van Halen's aesthetic to a proverbial \"T.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn \u003cem\u003e1984\u003c\/em\u003e, that aesthetic is punchy and catchy, glamorous and glitzy, blustery and heavy, wild and pyrotechnic, fast and pleasurable. From the first notes of the atmospheric title track, a precursor to the momentous synth-based anthem (\"Jump\") that follows, David Lee Roth, Eddie Van Halen, Michael Anthony, and Alex Van Halen hit on all cylinders until the record wraps with the stormy \"House of Pain.\" The full-bore closer is further proof there's not a wasted note or dull moment in sight — a fact the critics and public seemingly knew the day the set landed in January '84 when reviews and sales confirmed Van Halen's status as the era's predominant hard-rock ensemble. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou could also make an argument that \u003cem\u003e1984\u003c\/em\u003e proved the quartet stood tall as the smartest, toughest, funniest, and savviest band in the room. Not to mention the most virtuosic. Ranked by Rolling Stone the 177th Greatest Song of All Time, \"Jump\" alone showcases Van Halen's flash, flair, and finesse via shimmering keyboard lines, massive hooks, conversational vocals, and one helluva muscular rhythm section. Once it grabs your attention, the collective refuses to let go for another 28 and some minutes. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike a hot shoe burning down the avenue, Van Halen sends everything right into the red. Punctuated with the whooshed sounds of Eddie Van Halen's 1972 Lamborghini Miura S revved to 80,000 RPM, the charged electricity of \"Panama” prances forward with fleet-fingered solos, spicy double entendres, and bounding architecture that goes into overdrive. Indeed, for all its deserved association with the group's detour into keyboard sounds (the Top 20 “I’ll Wait” joins “Jump” in that regard), \u003cem\u003e1984\u003c\/em\u003e takes your head off with a rotating assembly of explosivity, verve, sex, and surprise. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor instant evidence, look to “Drop Dead Legs.” Correctly deemed by Roth as the funkiest song Van Halen ever crafted, it mesmerizes with Eddie Van Halen’s pyrotechnic harmonics, bluesy riffage, tapped cymbals that evoke the clapping of hands, and an airy surf-rock chorus true to the group’s California origins. Yeah, you know that you want it. For “Top Jimmy,” a tribute to James Koneck and his band Top Jimmy and The Rhythm Pigs, the band romps and swings, Roth donning his vaudeville hat and scooting along to Eddie Van Halen’s glassy licks and his mates’ gliding passages. Shake it baby, indeed. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVan Halen does exactly that on the forever clever “Hot for Teacher.” Launched with one of history’s most famous drum leads — a 30-second blitz distinguished with Alex Van Halen’s superhuman-powered double-bass rolls that draw from shuffle, boogie, and metal disciplines — that feeds into another segment with classroom effects and Roth ad libs, the mega-watt classic epitomizes everything inimitable and great about Van Halen, \u003cem\u003e1984\u003c\/em\u003e, and loose, boisterous, living, fire-breathing rock ‘n’ roll.
