Retro Van Halen '83

“(Nearly) Good Enough”, written and performed by Eddie Van Halen in '83. This track is part of the score from the movie The Wild Life, released in '84. Eddie wrote the entire musical score for the movie, playing guitar along with his electronic drum machine. This piece features some of what ultimately became “Good Enough”on the 5150 album. But this isn’t just an early version or demo of “Good Enough,” this contains lots of cool playing that’s never been released anywhere. Viewers of the movie can hear pieces of this track in the movie, but here’s the full unedited 7:32 track.
