Van Halen will release a new box set entitled “The Japanese Singles 1978-1984” on November 1.
The package collects all 13 7” vinyl singles issued in Japan during the band’s original era, from the group’s 1978 self-titled debut to their sixth album, “1984.”
The original album version of each song is featured in this set except for “Hot For Teacher,” which has a unique single edit that was issued exclusively in Japan; along with the single edit versions of “(Oh) Pretty Woman” and “I’ll Wait.”
Each replica single features the original sleeve artwork and comes housed in a cigarette-style box.
Two versions of the box set will be available, including a black vinyl version and a limited edition version of 750 copies on red vinyl.
Van Halen have sold more than 75 million albums worldwide, and were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 2007.
