Van Halen - PANAMA (Remastered 2020)

From 1984. Track 3 - Panama Eddie Van Halen, David Lee Roth, Michael Anthony, Alex Van Halen. Produced by Ted Templeman, Engineered by Donn Landee. Remastered for VIsta Records by Erik Rupp, 2020. “I never liked the Panama guitar tone (or much of the guitar tone on 1984). I didn’t DISlike it, but it isn’t as good as the tones Eddie got on the previous VH albums. It’s a little too mid focused, making it a little harsh (and not harsh in a good way). So I went after the Fair Warning (Mean Street, Unchained) guitar tone when remastering the song. There’s no way to completely get it there just by remastering it, but this is actually fairly close!“ - Erik Rupp, December 2020. Hard Rock and Heavy Metal Haven on Facebook -
