It took over 20 years for Van Halen to release a Best of album, and even then, the band downplayed the effort. Instead sticking to the original plan of releasing a two-disc set--one of material with original frontman David Lee Roth, and the other with his 11-year replacement Sammy Hagar--the band opted for a single CD chronicling their entire career. For the previously uninitiated, it's a golden introduction to a band that changed the face of '80s hard rock. Guitar-blazing old tracks like "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love," and "Dance the Night Away" segue into more commercial numbers like "Jump" and "Panama" from 1984. These in turn, set the stage for Hagar's slicker, more polished vocals on "Right Now" and "How Do I Know When It's Love." But while newcomers will be thrilled with the delights within, old fans will probably find little of use, since the two highly touted new tracks with Roth are pretty disposable. --Jon Wiederhorn
Album Description
Japanese pressing of Van Halen's single disc Best Of Vol. 1 (originally released in 1996) featuring one bonus track: 'Hot For Teacher'. This was the compilation that essentially brought Van Halen to a close when the band drafted in original vocalist David Lee Roth to record two new tracks. This reunion was short-lived but it was enough to anger then-current vocalist Sammy Hagar into leaving the band. Hagar did tour with the band in 2004, but they've never recovered from the firestorm that this release sparked! 18 tracks. Warner. 2007.

 WHY NOT ANOTHER ONE ???? August 12, 2008
How stupid do a record label or band ( who knows which ) must be, that they won't make a partner to this album. WHERE IS VOL.2 ?? You must really not want the 1-2 million copies of this sold and all that money made. Wait much longer, and everybody will forget VAN-HALEN.

BEST VAN HALEN December 24, 2007
IF YOU WANT THE BEST OF VAN HALEN FOR A GOOD PRICE THIS IS IT. I LOVE THIS ALBUM & ITS AMAZON PRICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The 2 best things about this album!! September 2, 2007
The best thing about this album is there are 2 new DAVID LEE ROTH tunes.
I never was a big van hagar fan, but the older Van Halen tunes are cool even though they could have added to the selection of songs.
Now that they have finally done the reunion tour with ROTH ten years later.
It looks like Van Halen can now fade of into the sunset...Yeah not!!
I would say it's worth buying just for the 2 new ROTH songs!!
I rate this album a 8 from 1to10!!
