Description
Released on March 23, 1979, it peaked at number six on the Billboard 200 and spawned the singles “Dance the Night Away” and “Beautiful Girls”. Recording of the album began on December 10, 1978, just one week after completing their first world tour, and was complete within a week.
The black-and-yellow guitar on the back of the album known as “Bumblebee” is buried with Pantera guitarist Dimebag Darrell, who was killed December 8, 2004. Eddie Van Halen placed it in his Kiss Kasket at his funeral because Darrell had said it was his favorite.
