This is the rare Spanish version of David Lee Roth’s first solo album “Eat 'Em and Smile” known as “Sonrisa Salvaje.” According to the Van Halen Encyclopedia, the idea to re-record the album in Spanish was the idea of bassist Billy Sheehan, who had read an article in a magazine which reported that over half the Mexican population was between the ages of 18–27, a prime record buying market. Roth re-cut all his vocals with the help of a Spanish tutor in the studio. He edited some of risqué lyrics, so as not to offend the more conservative Spanish-speaking population. With the exception of the vocals, the basic music tracks are the same as the Eat 'Em and Smile version, with the only exception being "Big Trouble", which ends abruptly as opposed to fading out on the English version. Vinyl has been play tested and is in beautiful NM condition, with no skips or loops. Album jacket is in VG+ shape, just some light wear in the corners and top. Comes with inner sleeve featuring photos and album credits.
