Ahoy there, dear listener!

Your audio pals Steve & Ross are back casting pods around Lake Internet and reeling them in to bring you a review of their latest catch — The Collection II!

And to pursue this totally random angling analogy a little further; there's nothing fishy going on when such a treasure trove of previously unreleased Sammy-era VH treasures are released into the wild and served up for us salivating fans to feast upon with a side order of corkscrew-hair-shaped Hagar fries.

Thanks to Mister Drummond of course for sacrificing his future pension plan by allowing us a peek inside his own personal box set edition, after delicately cutting a tiny portion of the protective cellophane with surgical precision to reveal a glimmer of the goodies within.

Expect insights and outtakes, factoids and trivia, assessments and critiques, tangents and nonsense and loads of silly voices as usual. 

Also, if you are so inclined and have access to both a keyboard and next door's Wi-Fi password, please do leave us a review inside your chosen podcast platform's review zone. Whatever we see we'll deffo read it out.... the good, even the bad and especially the ugly. 

You can also message or mention us on that angry social place that has since rebranded with a swanky new name that no-one ever uses: twitter.com/talkinvanhalen and on the Facebooks which nobody cool really goes on anymore: facebook.com/TalkinVanHalen 

Enjoy the show, dear podpal! 
Thank you for being here and not over there. 

Fistbumps aplenty, 

Steve + Ross at ATBVH HQ.
