Van Halen Album
Album cover
color proof sheet for the 'Japanese Version' of the Van Halen Balance CD album artwork, which has been signed by the band members.
Details
Album: Balance, the tenth studio album by the American hard rock band Van Halen, released in 1995.
Item Type: This appears to be a Warner Bros. Records color proof sheet, which is an artist or production proof for the final CD insert design.
Japanese Version: An alternate cover was used for the Japanese release because the original cover (featuring conjoined twins on a seesaw) was considered a cultural offense. The Japanese version features only one child on the cover and often includes the bonus track "Crossing Over".
Signatures: The piece is signed by the 1995 line-up: Sammy Hagar, Eddie Van Halen, Michael Anthony, and Alex Van Halen. These types of signed proofs are rare collectibles that have appeared in auctions.
