Van Halen – Best Of Volume I (CD, 1996, Warner Bros. Records 9 46332-2, US WEA Mfg. Olyphant Pressing)

Why This CD Matters
Best Of Volume I spans both the David Lee Roth and Sammy Hagar eras, providing a single-disc overview of Van Halen's major recordings through the mid-1990s. The compilation includes staples such as “Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love,” “Jump,” “Panama,” “Dreams,” and “Right Now,” alongside the soundtrack recording “Humans Being.” It also introduced “Can't Get This Stuff No More” and “Me Wise Magic,” two new recordings that reunited the band with Roth for the first time since his departure in the 1980s.
