…And Talking About Van Halen…
A rare album cover proof for Van Halen’s first album with their original logo has gone up for auction on eBay with a ‘buy it now’ price of a cool $2,500.
The seller, ‘da4ever’, states: ‘This is an unbelievable Van Halen collectible that I obtained from Noel Monk, Van Halen’s Manager from 1978-1985.
‘Cannot believe I am selling this, but circumstances sometimes suck, so it’s time to let go.’
Only six of these covers were ever made, the seller claims.
He adds: ‘The reputed story is that David Lee Roth spotted a Sex Pistols similar pose and requested the same for his cover. When this version was done, he rejected it as he thought it was too punky.
‘Noel also told me that Alex [Van Halen] hated his photo, it made him “look like a giant”.’
He’s got a point. Check out the auction here.
