Not 4 Sale is the thirteenth studio album by American rock singer Sammy Hagar, and the second album by Hagar's backup band The Waboritas.[1] [2] As it was released in the US on Hagar's own Cabo Wabo Music label, problems arose with distribution; the release date passed without copies being delivered to several national retail chains.[3]
It peaked at #11 on the Billboard Independent Albums chart.[4]
Song information
- "Stand Up" was originally written by Hagar for the film Rock Star. It appears here with new lyrics.
- The studio version of "Hallelujah" is included as the only studio track on . Hagar wanted to give the song another commercial chance since the Not 4 Sale release was plagued with distribution problems.
- "Halfway to Memphis" was later re-recorded as a country song for the Livin' It Up! album.
- "Whole Lotta Zep" is a re-working/medley of three Led Zeppelin songs: "Whole Lotta Love", "Black Dog", and "Kashmir".
Critical reception
AllMusic wrote: "With quite a few rock veterans trying to update their sound with modern touches and failing miserably come the early 21st century, Hagar wisely sticks to his bread and butter on Not 4 Sale".
