Description

Van Halen II is the second studio album by American rock band Van Halen. Released on March 23, 1979, it peaked at number six on the Billboard 200 and spawned the singles "Dance the Night Away" and "Beautiful Girls". As of 2004, it has sold almost six million copies in the United States. Critical reaction to the album has been positive as well, with The Rolling Stone Album Guide praising the feel-good, party atmosphere of the songs. Recording of the album took place at Sunset Studio less than a year after the release of the band's 1978 debut album, Van Halen.[2] Recording of the album began on December 10, 1978, just one week after completing their first world tour, and was complete within a week.[3] The band used a Putnam 610 console to record the album, similar to the console Eddie would later install in his home studio in 1983.[3] Many of the songs on Van Halen II are known to have existed prior to the release of the first album, and are present on the demos recorded in 1976 by Gene Simmons, and in 1977 by Ted Templeman, including an early version of "Beautiful Girls" (then known as "Bring On the Girls") and "Somebody Get Me a Doctor."  It reached No. 6 on the Billboard 200 charts[16] and #23 on the UK charts.[17] Van Halen II was certified 5× Platinum in 2004. About 5.7 million records have been sold in the United States as of 2004.[18] In 2000, Van Halen II was remastered and re-released. - Wikipedia
