On this day in 1988, Van Halen’s fantastic OU812 (“Oh, You Ate One Too!”) was released! Their second album with Sammy Hagar reached #1, sold over 4 million copies in the US and featured six songs that landed on the Billboard Hot 100 and/or the Mainstream Rock Tracks.

Here’s a super rare photo of Eddie, Michael, Alex and Sammy from that year.

Track list:

  • Mine All Mine
  • When It’s Love
  • A.F.U.(Naturally Wired)
  • Cabo Wabo
  • Source of Infection
  • Feels So Good
  • Finish What Ya Started
  • Black and Blue
  • Sucker in a 3 Piece
  • A Apolitical Blues
