A second group of Van Halen catalog albums will be released on July 10 in remastered edition on CD and Vinyl.

The first two sets of the reissue series remastered by Chris Bellman, Van Halen and 1984, were released on March 31. Now four other David Lee Roth era albums, Van Halen II, Women and Children First, Fair Warning and Diver Down are being added to the series.

Van Halen II (1979) includes Dance the Night Away, Somebody Get Me a Doctor and Beautiful Girls while Women and Children First (1980) features And the Cradle Will Rock… and Everybody Wants Some.

Fair Warning (1981), their fourth studio album, included the singles So This is Love? and Unchained and Diver Down (1982) included the covers of (Oh) Pretty Woman and Dancing in the Street along with two much older songs, Big Bad Bill (Is Sweet William Now) and Happy Trails which would foreshadow some of Roth’s solo choices.

All four of the albums made the top six on Billboard’s Top 200 with Diver Down doing the best at number 3.
