Notes

• Audience recording. New capture from the master cassette. Sound levels were adjusted, but this recording is otherwise untouched from the master. This is what's known as the "common source".
• Two editions of this release were produced, both sold out quickly. This is the 2nd edition. The Zodiac 001 release was the first.
• Stickered CDs came with a bonus called "The Early Days" which is a 3 DVDR video collection of the early years of Van Halen.
• The disc came with a replica ticket stub, and replicas of the flyers used to promote the appearance in Japan. The original flyers were probably 5x8 in size, these are about 3.75" x 5.5". The single color flyer is the earlier one, with the two-color flyer being produced later.
• The quality of the recording is very good. There are two obvious edits, both most likely just removing audience noise. One before "You Really Got Me", and the other before "Bottoms Up". Both of these last two songs sound more lively, as if they are from a different source, or the taper moved to a different position.
• Cover art reminds us of the artwork for the first VH album, with shots of the band members in the four quadrants. A VH logo is center, and the show title, date and location is at the bottom.
• Inside back artwork has two shots of the band on stage. "Van Halen Japan Tour 1978" is the text along the top, and along the bottom are the band member names, and the instruments they play.
• The under-tray artwork is a live shot of Dave and Ed on stage.
• Rear artwork is a shot of Ed playing the black and white striped guitar. The set list is in red text at the top, along with a VH logo and the band member names. A Zodiac logo is in the lower right.
• The disc has the same image as what is under the tray. The show title is above the hub in red text. A disclaimer wraps around the outside.
• A limited number of discs came with a red sticker on the CD case with a three digit number on it. The sticker has a VH logo on it over some gray stripes.
• Released in 2015.
