ByKenneth Corsini August 18, 2025June 18, 2026
Last Friday Van Halen curiously released a 2-CD “Expanded Edition” of their 1995 album Balance. I have to admit being a little surprised to see that. I purchased Balance (on CD) the day it came out that January of ’95 and eventually sold it at the used record/CD store. I had really liked the first…
