Van Halen’s Balance turns 30 this year, and Rhino is celebrating with an expanded edition of the band’s multi-platinum tenth studio album. It follows last year’s successful reissue of For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge (Expanded Edition) and concludes Rhino’s spotlight on the band’s classic albums from the Hagar era.
 
Arriving August 15th, Balance (Expanded Edition) will be available as a 2LP/2CD/Blu-ray deluxe set including the original album, remastered for 2023’s The Collection II, along with a selection of audio and video rarities. Pre-order, here. The collection also contains several unreleased live recordings from the Balance Tour, including The Seventh Seal, which is available today digitally, listen here. 
 
Watch the full collection unboxing, below.

Standalone versions of Balance will also be available the same day, including a 2CD set with the album and rarities, and a 2LP black vinyl and 2LP orange vinyl pressing that presents the full album on vinyl for the first time in 30 years. Here, the complete album spans three sides, for optimal audio quality, with a Balance-era etching on the fourth. 
 
Balance (Expanded Edition) pulls together a selection of non-album tracks from the period, including the B-side Crossing Over, along with Humans Being and Respect the Wind from the Twister soundtrack. Also featured are eight standout performances from the band’s 1995 Wembley Stadium appearance, which was broadcast by the BBC. The recordings offer rare live versions of Balance tracks like Feelin’ and The Seventh Seal.
 
The Blu-ray features several restored promo videos, including Can’t Stop Lovin’ You, Amsterdam, and Not Enough. It also includes a previously unreleased live clip of The Seventh Seal, filmed at the Target Center in Minneapolis in July 1995.
 
Originally released on January 24th, 1995, Balance debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 and was certified triple Platinum by the RIAA. The album produced rock radio hits like Can’t Stop Lovin’ You and Don’t Tell Me (What Love Can Do), and introduced deeper cuts like Big Fat Money and Aftershock. It marked the final studio album recorded by the lineup of Sammy Hagar, Eddie Van Halen, Alex Van Halen, and Michael Anthony.
