New David Lee Roth Box Set Collects Solo Material from 1985 to 1994

Rhino has unveiled a new David Lee Roth box set, The Warner Recordings 1985-1994, arriving on vinyl and CD on February 21st.

The 5-LP and 5-CD box sets house Roth’s solo recordings following his exit from Van Halen in 1985, beginning with the Crazy from the Heat EP and its hit song “Just a Gigolo.”

DLR followed that up with the successful Eat ‘Em and Smile LP in 1986, featuring Roth teamed up with an all-star backing band featuring bassist Billy Sheehan, drummer Gregg Bissonette, and guitar virtuoso Steve Vai. Roth then went on to release three more LPs on Warner including 1988’s Skyscraper, 1991’s A Little Ain’t Enough, and 1994’s Your Filthy Little Mouth.

Of note for collectors, the upcoming vinyl box set will contain the first-ever repressing of Your Filthy Little Mouth, which was only released on vinyl in Germany in 1994, making it a scarce and pricey original pressing.

DLR hasn’t released much in the way of new solo material since his Warner years — aside from the DLR Band LP in 1998 and 2003’s Diamond Dave — though he continues to tease tracks that he recorded in various capacities over the past few years, including originals such as “Pointing at the Moon” and re-recordings of Van Halen staples like “Panama.” Meanwhile, his retirement status remains ambiguous.

You can pre-order The Warner Recordings 1985-1994 box set on vinyl/CD via Rhino. Check out the artwork and vinyl tracklist below.
