Due March 27 via Rhino Records, the reissue arrives in sync with the 40th anniversary of the band’s first album with Sammy Hagar, which marked the group’s first US No. 1 album.
The LP/3CD/Blu-ray collection includes the 1986 album remastered directly from the original master tapes, overseen by the band’s longtime engineer Donn Landee. Additionally, an Amazon-exclusive green vinyl version will be available the same day.
The set also introduces more than 90 minutes of previously unreleased live recordings from the band’s August 27, 1986, concert at New Haven Veterans Memorial Coliseum in New Haven, Connecticut.
The Blu-ray includes a new high-definition upgrade of “Live Without a Net”, Van Halen’s double-Platinum 1986 concert video that was also recorded that same August night in New Haven.
Standalone versions of 5150 featuring the remastered album and rarities will also be available the same day as a 2CD set or a 2LP on black vinyl.
