Welcome to the Vinyl Vault hosted by JC Douglas!
The show that blows dust off your favourite albums to see how they make you feel today. JC goes beyond what you thought you knew about these albums. It’s a listening party, not Wikipedia. A time in the week we can immerse ourselves in those records again.
Do they sound different? What memories do they stir? Can they still move us all those years later?
JC wants to know your answers. Post your feelings, memories, observations on our Facebook page. This is OUR show.
June 7th/8th – Van Halen – 5150
After 6 albums, Van Halen was one of the biggest bands in the world. And then…. their charismatic lead singer left for a solo career. While many sounded the death knell for the band (and many diehard fans still believe the Roth era was the only era that mattered), the band regrouped with solo star Sammy Hagar to create the first in a series of #1 charting albums. JC Douglas takes us behind the recording of that album – and makes a solid case for the Roth-only crowd to take another listen to a classic re-debut.
