Info for The Warner Recordings (1985-1994) (2025 Remaster)

David Lee Roth - THE WARNER RECORDINGS 1985-1994 features the first five solo releases recorded by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame® Inductee and original Van Halen lead vocalist in one comprehensive collection for the very first time. Spanning one of the greatest runs in rock ‘n’ roll history, the set offers lifelong fans and newcomers alike the chance to experience CRAZY FROM THE HEAT [1985], EAT ‘EM AND SMILE [1986], SKYSCRAPER [1988], A LITTLE AIN’T ENOUGH [1991], and YOUR FILTHY LITTLE MOUTH [1994] in succession.

40 years ago this month, on January 28, 1985, Roth officially debuted as a solo artist with the CRAZY FROM THE HEAT EP. It crashed the Top 15 of the Billboard 200 and reached RIAA Platinum status. Plus, he logged a pair of Billboard Hot 100 hits - the medley of “Just a Gigolo/I Ain’t Got Nobody” vaulted to #12, while his take on “California Girls” by The Beach Boys soared to #3, replicating the 1965 chart success of the original. Meanwhile, CRAZY FROM THE HEAT would later serve as the title of his New York Times best-selling autobiography in 1997.

The EP paved the way for his first full-length solo LP, EAT ‘EM AND SMILE. Released on July 7, 1986, it bowed in the Top 5 of the Billboard 200 and eventually went RIAA Platinum. Roth hyper-charged his sound, accompanied by an all-star band consisting of Billy Sheehan [bass], Gregg Bissonette [drums], and Steve Vai [guitar]. Together, they served up anthems such as “Yankee Rose,” “Tobacco Road,” “That’s Life,” and more. KERRANG! notably christened it ”Album of the Year,” and he launched the seminal EAT ‘EM AND SMILE Tour in its wake.

1987 saw the platinum SKYSCRAPER return Roth to the Top 10 of the Billboard 200, elevated by “Just Like Paradise.” Meanwhile, Roth kicked off the nineties with the gold-selling A LITTLE AIN’T ENOUGH in 1991. It marked his fourth straight Top 20 debut on the Billboard 200 and boasted fretwork from Jason Becker. Finally, he dropped YOUR FILTHY LITTLE MOUTH in 1994, this time collaborating with none other than iconic producer Nile Rodgers [Madonna, David Bowie], churning out staples such as “She’s My Machine.”

David Lee Roth
The American songwriter and musician David Lee Roth was born in 1954 in Bloomington, Indiana but spent his formative years in California. Roth grew up in an affluent household, as his father was a renowned eye surgeon whose investments in real estate resulted in a sizable family fortune. Despite the fact that most of his family members were surgeons or other medical professionals, young David found himself drawn to the entertainment industry, and by the time he was in his teens, he was performing as a solo singer and sometimes with various other groups.

After teaming up with Eddie Van Halen and Alex Van Halen, Roth became part of the trio at that time called Mammoth. In 1974, the band switched its name to Van Halen, and the group began to perform around the Los Angeles area, slowly establishing a growing fan base. A meeting with Gene Simmons of the rock group KISS in 1976 led to an offer of assistance on Van Halen’s first demo tape, which eventually garnered the attention of a Warner Brothers’ executive in 1977.

After signing with Warner Brothers, the band released their self-titled debut album in 1978. Van Halen was a smash hit, rising to the top of the charts and selling more than twelve million copies over time. Throughout the early 1980’s, David Lee Roth served as the band’s front-man, bringing hits such as “Pretty Woman,” “Dancing in the Street,” “Secrets,” “So This Is Love?,” “Jump,” and “Hot for Teacher” to the mainstream. Roth remained with Van Halen through the albums Van Halen II (1979), Women and Children First (1980), Fair Warning (1982), Diver Down (1982) and 1984 (1984), after which time he left the band to launch a solo career.

David Lee Roth’s debut solo album, Crazy from the Heat, was also an enormous hit upon its release in 1985, and featured such light-hearted songs such as “Just a Gigolo/I Ain’t Got Nobody” and “California Girls.” From 1985 to 2006, Roth performed mainly with his own solo band, featuring notable musicians such as Billy Sheehan and Steve Vai. Crazy from the Heat was followed by: Eat ‘Em and Smile (1986), Skyscraper (1988), A Little Ain’t Enough (1991), Your Filthy Little Mouth (1994), DLR Band (1998), and Diamond Dave (2003.) The albums gave audiences the additional hits: “Yankee Rose,” “That’s Life,” “Tobacco Road,” and “Just Like Paradise,” to name a few.

In 2007, David Lee Roth rejoined Van Halen, and has remained with the band ever since. The group released a “comeback” album, A Different Kind of Truth, in 2012, featuring the songs “She’s the Woman” and “Tattoo.” In 2015, the group released a live album, Tokyo Dome Live in Concert.
