From the early sammy days, After Montrose, pre-warner brothers, years away from Van Halen.......2007-01-23

This is a compilation of songs of the early sammy solo years, the real "red rocker" years. Included in this collection is his song "I've done everything for you", which rick springfield re-did on his album in 1981 and made a hit of...It's still sammy's song. I was not as familiar with his work from this time era since I grew to know him during his 80's run and with Van Halen, but this is a great album to have to complete his time post Montrose to pre-warner brothers days (albums like 3 lock box, Standing hampton, VOA Etc). Check it out, affordable, great for the sammy collection. Get this with Unboxed and the red collection, a 3 disc collection that almost completes sammy...pick up montrose's greatest hits, you have it covered.

From the Capitol years..........2001-03-24

Made in USA in 1999, Serial# 72435-21097-2-2, Playing Time 38:37

This CD is a compilation of material of his early solo years, up to the "Street Machine" album, plus track 3 from a single first issued on album on "Rematch", plus track 8 from the 1992 14-track compilation "The Best Of".

This disc is like a re-issue of that 1992 album, but is missing 4 tracks, while track 1, "Red", is actually from his early self-titled album (and not "live" as stated on the CD, and not remixed as it appears under the other compilation).

Nothing from "Danger Zone", his last album for Capitol records, and nothing from his 1st solo effort, "Nine On A Ten Scale".

Overall, a fair compilation of his early solo work; track 8, a re-make of the oldie "Sittin' On The Dock Of The Bay", which I dislike, seems completely out of place after the smokin' song "Trans Am".

I honestly don't recommend this to anyone because it's a little short: go for the alternative 14-track version of "The Best Of" instead, and/or the "Unboxed" CD, which covers the Geffen years

The Best.......2000-09-09

I love listening to Sammy Hagar. This CD is great since it has some of Sammy Hagar's best songs all in one for me to hear. I don't have to have all his CD's out to hear the songs I want to hear. It is worth the purchase.

A must have for a Sammy fan!.......2000-03-31

This is an awesom compilation of Sammy's older work. It covers everything starting with the Montrose days (1973) and stops before Standing Hampton (1981). It really picks out the true hits from the days when Sammy was young and just starting to leave his impresions on the world. Even if your are not sure if you like Sammy Hagar, this album will get you wanting all of his albums. If you want the complete greatest hits collection, think about getting "Unboxed". This starts with Standing Hampton and takes you through the pre-Van Halen era.

80's music will never die-it just gets respectable.......1999-08-14

Unashamed 80's rock about cars, chicks, booze, and of course the color red. "This Planets on Fire (Burn in Hell)" is worth the price of admission alone. The opening riff instantly transported me back to my teen years. My hair grew and my face broke out!

Just freakin' great........1999-06-30

I have to say, if you grew up in the 80's and liked Sammy, you definitely need this album. It's got his best works outide of "that band he sang for in the 90's". You get the pure Sammy attitude on Red & Trans Am...plus a few really great songs that I'd forgotten; Plain Jane & I've Done Everything For You. It made me feel like a teenager again...and I loved it!

Sammy at his best.......1998-12-16

Sammy started rockin many years ago with a band called Montrose. One of the first songs Sammy ever wrote was on this album. That song was Bad Motorscooter. Sammy went on to play with bassist Bill Church also of Montrose and formed the band simply called Sammy Hagar. He was a local artist from the LA area and didn't get much airplay anywhere except in Saint Louis. One of the countries first FM rock stations KSHE 94.7 gave Sammy airplay. Saint Louis and Sammy have had a great relationship ever since. I am a 40 year old white male from Saint Louis and although I liked Van Hagar Sammy was at the height of his career with the release of Standing Hampton. This album is Sammy at his best and as Sammy would say " There's only one way to rock" and brother this is it. Sammy if you happen to come across this review I just want to say Keep Rockin and I love you man.
