Blueprint, Studio, CA

| Media | CDR 2 discs |
| Notes | This is the important 25-song demo VH made for Warner Bros. after they were signed to a record deal. From these, the songs that would appear on Van Halen were chosen and re-recorded. The October 26/27, 1977 date given on boot CD's is probably false. Although the location of the studio this was recorded at is unknown, it was almost definitely somewhere in the Los Angeles, CA area. They sound quality is quite good on most copies of this. Although it has been rumored that as many as 40 songs were recorded during these sessions, it has not been confirmed. Ten of these 25 tracks have been in circulation since 1994, and the remaining 15 were finally in made available to the public by bootleggers in 1998. For many years this collection was considered to be the "holy grail" of Van Halen demo boots. |
