This Day in Music History (04/29)

Fair Warning is the fourth studio album by American hard rock band Van Halen. Released on this day in 1981, it sold more than two million copies, but was still the band's slowest-selling album of the David Lee Roth era.

The cover artwork features a detail from The Maze, a painting by Canadian artist William Kurelek which depicts his tortured youth. The album was listed by Esquire as one of the 75 Albums Every Man Should Own.

The album peaked at #5 on the pop album charts and went double platinum.
