Van Halen – Fair Warning (Vinyl LP, 1981, Warner Bros. Records HS 3540, Jacksonville Pressing)

Why This Record Matters
Fair Warning is Van Halen’s fourth studio album and presents a darker, heavier side of the original David Lee Roth-era lineup. Produced by Ted Templeman, the album includes “Mean Street,” “Unchained,” “Hear About It Later,” and “So This Is Love?” The record also features Eddie Van Halen’s distinctive guitar work throughout, while “Sunday Afternoon in the Park” provides a brief instrumental transition into “One Foot Out the Door.”
