Comments :
The cover shows Edward wailing on his black and white striped Kramer. A very old Van Halen logo graces the upper left corner.
The inside of the 2 page cover shows a collage of older VH pictures, along with a flyer from a show at the Goldenwest Ballroom. However, this flyer is from an earlier performance of the band at that location on March 13, 1976. The actual date of this particular show was May 9, 1976.
The backside of the cover has text on top of a picture of Alex pounding out the beat to some tune. The text talks about the venue, the show and how some of the songs done that night have never been released on LP or CD (until now).
The rear cover shows an early pic of VH sitting in front of their equipment, along with the track listing.
Called "Listen Up Shenkar" on test pressings and came with plain, typed inserts instead of the full color ones in this release. "Shenkar" is a reference to Michael Shenkar's band, UFO, which Van Halen opened for that evening.
Track 2 is actually "I'm The One".
Track 10 is actually "We Die Bold".
Track 13 is actually "Oceanside".
"Last Night" is an early version of "Hang 'em High".
According to the back cover, Tracks 10 and 13 have never been released on any VH Bootleg.
The sound quality is excellent for this very early recording. This is a must have for any serious Van Halen fan.

Notes
(*) indicates "remixed in 1977" versions of the demos. They sound somewhat cleaner and are from a better generation source then the original demos.
This is a professionally done CD-R with silk-screened art on the discs, no sticky labels.
The track listings presented on the back cover differ slightly from those above. The listing above is correct for what is on the discs.
The quality of the 25 song demos is the same as those tracks on the bootleg disc called, "Blueprint".
Tracks 5-8 on Disc 2 are from an old KMET radio interview that has shown up in various forms on some older bootlegs and includes Dave doing the intro to the "Full Bug" on acoustic guitar and changing around a bit to make it an advertisement for KMET. These particular tracks are excellent quality.
Tracks 7 & 8 on Disc 2 are an interview with Lisa Robinson that includes Eddie doing the Elephant, Horse and Mouse sounds on guitar.
Track 12 on Disc 2 is King Crimson's "Discipline", not Van Halen!
Track 18 on Disc 2 is a poor sounding soundboard recording from the Jacksons' Texas show in 1984 which Eddie played "Beat It" live with the band.
Tracks 19-21 on Disc 2 are from a radio interview where a caller claims he has a tape he recorded from Van Halen in 1975 while doing sound for the other band on the bill called "Air Castle" and has "Superstitious" and a small part of "La Grange".
Also included are songs straight off of their respective CDs. Including Nicollette Larson's "Get Away From You" that Eddie played on in 1978 and all 3 tracks from the Brian May "Star Fleet" LP (CD versions used).
One bad thing about this set is the inclusion of a few dubious tracks (11,14,17 on Disc 2) from "Eddie solo in his studio" that are fakes done by a guitar instructor and appeared on the "Guitar Man" bootleg a few years back.
Even though "Feel Your Love Tonight" is listed on the cover art for Disc 2, it is not on the set. Also, If you look closely on the songlist for Disc 2, there is no Track #16 listed!
