Offered Here: Van Halen 1980 Woman and Children First Partial Promotional Display. This auction features the main piece of a countertop display promoting Van Halen's "Women and Children First" album, featuring the iconic photo of the band. The display is missing parts that it hooks into, but the main piece measures approximately 16 x 17 inches and is constructed of printed cardboard.
Additional Information: Released in 1980, "Women and Children First" was Van Halen’s third studio album and marked a departure from their prior work with more original songs and fewer covers. The album reached number 6 on the Billboard 200 charts and included hits like "And the Cradle Will Rock...” showcasing the band's evolving sound.
Provenance/Authenticity: For over forty years, Nick D’Andrea was more than a fan—he was a fixture in the Van Halen inner circle. Dubbed the "#1 Van Halen Guy" by the band members themselves, D’Andrea’s collection was built through a deep personal friendship with the Van Halen family. With a veteran history of 400+ shows, D’Andrea’s archive represents a rare, direct pipeline to the band, featuring items gifted to him throughout their legendary career.
Condition: The promotional display is in good to fair condition, with noted issues including tape repair on Michael Anthony's hand, pinholes, folds, edge wear, and discoloration, which are common signs of age.
