mrmojohalen(6386) | Good Deal.
When you turn on your stereo, does it return the favor?

ron(11495) | mrmojohalen: Good Deal.
My copy arrived in 1 day (from Amazon) and looks to be in perfect condition. (I haven’t unsealed it yet)
You can get other packages (including signed copies and a ‘Van Halen’ package) at the official site, but it’ll set you back more $$$$.
