Sammy Hagar - Nine On A Ten Scale (1976) [Remastered 1993]

Legendary "Red Rocker" Sammy Hagar has made a substantial impression on the American rock scene. Hagar is not only a top notch guitarist but possessor of an awesome hard rock voice and unique songwriting ability that can see him at ease with raging hard rock material and more thoughtful mellower work alike. Hagar debuted with 1976's 'Nine On A Ten Scale' album, cut at The Record Plant, Sausalito with producer John Carter, for Capitol Records.
