The Bogus Otis Show: 9 Degrees of Sammy Hagar
S7 Episode 006: 8-Tracks, Holy Grails, and "5150" @ 40 with Tim Durling!

In this episode, the Bo-Hosts are joined by Canadian rock historian, podcaster and author Tim Durling (Tim’s Vinyl Confessions) to continue the 40th-anniversary celebration of Van Halen’s 5150.
Tim shares his "on-ramp" story—the moment "Why Can’t This Be Love?" changed everything—before diving into a world of physical media mysteries. From the "holy grail" 5150 8-track (yes, they existed in 1986!) to the hunt for the highly-elusive VOA, the trio explores the technical quirks and bizarre track-lists of a dying format.
Then the guys bridge the gap from 5150 to Sammy’s 1987 solo record, I Never Said Goodbye. They dissect Eddie Van Halen’s quiet fingerprints as a producer & bassist on the album and how this "contractual obligation" record became a Gold-selling bridge between 5150 and Ou812 eras and in some cases, "honorary" Van Halen tracks!
It’s a high-speed session on rare gear, 80s nostalgia, and the peak of the Red Rocker era. Get Up and listen now!
