30th Anniversary Expanded Reissue Of Van Halen’s ‘Balance’ On The Way

Van Halen‘s 1995 album, Balance, is set to receive a 30th anniversary expanded reissue on August 15 through Rhino, with the collection available in 2-LP and 2-CD editions. The band also shared an album teaser for the release, which will feature remastered audio sourced from the 2023 box set, along with three non-album tracks and previously unreleased live recordings from a 1995 performance at Wembley Stadium. The deluxe edition box set includes both LPs and CDs, as well as an exclusive Blu-ray disc featuring era-specific music videos and promo clips. While the reissue compiles all officially released studio material from the Balance era, the sought-after recording, “Between Us Two,” which was initially intended for the Twister soundtrack but was ultimately shelved, did not surface for this release. Pre-orders for the deluxe edition and vinyl/CD versions are currently ongoing via Rhino’s webstore. (Consequence of Sound)
