Amazon offers Women and Children First (Audio CD),19 September, 2000 List price $11.98 Not radio friendly but still a very good purchase / 4 I kind of forgot about this album for a long time. Last year I went on a Van Halen buying rampage and bought most of their collection on cd from amazon. Glad I included this one. Van Halen released Women and Children First as a follow up to their first 2 studios albums. There isn't much for the top 40 crowd to get very excited about. 'And The Cradle Will Rock' comes the closest to being a hit single. It's a great song, marking the first time Eddie moved over to keyboards in the studio. Actually, it's a Hammond organ and adds a ton of atmosphere to the song. The bulk of the songs here are more bluesy in nature than what were on VH 1 and VH 2. And that's why it moves down from a 5 star ranking. The interplay of Eddie and Roth (vocals) keep the songs moving along but for some reason the approach to the blues doesn't work and they are never able to raise it to the level of their first 2 albums. Believe me, this is odd because Eddie grew up idolizing Clapton and learned to play guitar by memorizing EC's riffs. Possibly, Eddie's playing is so advanced and quick it just never can work in a more blues oriented setting. Who knows. I just know it isn't as great as what they did before or what they would do on other albums. But when it works it works well. The tried and true formula of letting Eddie go crazy on his guitar always works and when that happens here the results are predictably good. Not an essential purchase until you get VH 1, 2, and 1984. Song "Ice Cream Man" Dedicate one to the ladies...
