I was 13 years old in the summer of '79, was at a record store with my young friends, and a older kid named David put VH II in my hands and said to me "buy it"! I was instantly impressed by the front cover art then flipped it over to the backside and was floored looking at the pictures.. who was that long haired guy with the sexy nurses?!? The guy with the striped guitar, the bass player and drummer guy?! Without knowing anything about VH, I did. Took it home gave it a spin, wore the needle out playing it front to back. It forever changed me.

I have a similar story. My mom was taking me to the record store to buy my first album. I had no idea what to get. The older kids across the street said to get Van Halen, Women and Children First. That was soon followed by AC/DC Dirty Deeds and then Rush Moving Pictures. 😂👍

I had just turned 14, the summer of 79. What's funny is my first memory of hearing this was in my dad's car, as he was driving me to baseball practice to Koch Park. How that memory has stuck with me, is just crazy.
