“AFU/Naturally Wired” by Van Halen

"AFU/Naturally Wired" comes off OU812, the Van Halen album that hit stores on May 24, 1988, the band's eighth and the second with Sammy Hagar out front. All four members share the writing credit, and the lineup is fully loaded: Hagar sings lead and straps on an electric guitar next to Edward Van Halen, who plays keyboards as well, while Michael Anthony works the electric bass and Alex Van Halen is on drums and percussion. Anthony and Edward Van Halen stack up the backing vocals.

Donn Landee produced it with the band and recorded it, with Ken Deane assisting on the engineering. The album took shape between September 1987 and April 1988, wrapping up just a month before release, and Landee came back to remaster it for The Collection II in 2023.
