Few debut albums hit with the seismic force of Montrose. Released in 1973, this powerhouse record didn't just introduce guitarist Ronnie Montrose and a then-unknown vocalist named Sammy Hagar - it practically rewrote the rules for American hard rock.

From the opening riff of 'Rock the Nation' to the thunder of 'Bad Motor Scooter' and 'Space Station #5,' Montrose delivers 35 minutes of pure, high-octane energy. It's lean, loud, and loaded with attitude - the album that bridged the gap between Led Zeppelin's muscle and Van Halen's flash. In fact, Eddie Van Halen himself cited Montrose as a blueprint for what would come next. Produced by Ted Templeman (soon to helm Van Halen's own breakout), the record's sound is all killer instinct and no filler - massive guitar tones, airtight grooves, and Hagar's raw, unfiltered vocals in peak form. It's the kind of album that never left the turntables of rock fans, and it's still hailed by critics as one of the greatest debut albums in rock history. Now, this classic gets the treatment it's always deserved. Mastered with precision from the original tape by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab, and pressed on dead-quiet, perfectly flat vinyl by Quality Record Pressings, this edition captures every ounce of the album's fire and punch - the way it was meant to be heard. Turn it up, drop the needle, and feel the spark that lit an era. Montrose isn't just hard rock history - it's the sound of ignition. The Birth of American Hard Rock - now on audiophile vinyl! Part of the Acoustic Sounds 40 Series Releasing 40 titles to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Acoustic Sounds! Mastered by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab from the original master tape 180-gram 45 RPM double LP pressed at Quality Record Pressings Housed in a Stoughton Printing tip-on gatefold jacket

Shipping, Returns & Cancellations

SHIPPING:

We ship Monday through Friday. Orders typically ship within 24-72 hours. Tracking is sent to the email you provide at check out and may take a few days to become active.

Any items ordered with Pre-Orders will be held until they can all ship together. If you need in stock items faster please order them seperately.

RETURNS:

Returns are only accepted on damaged or defective items. Return requests must be made within 7 days of delivery. Please save the original packaging.

If you own a Crosley, Victrola or any other lower end turntable that has no ability to adjust the weight of the tone arm and are experiencing skipping on a new record please try the "Penny Trick". Simply place a penny on the top of the cartidge and it should provide enough weight to resolve your issues. While a great entry to the world of vinyl we do recommend upgrading to a turntable with a tone arm that can be adjusted as this issue will randomly occur. We do not take returns in these cases.

Resellers: If you are buying from us for resale we honestly don't mind. However, please don't panic if something you bought suddenly isn't flipable for more money and then try to return stuff to us because you feel like you made a bad investment choice. Despite our outsized reputation we're a small shop, not amazon. Absorbing these costs adds up on places like ours. Plus a little patience always tends to pay off.

CANCELLATIONS:

Due to an increasing number of payment processors no longer returning transaction fees to sellers on cancelled orders and rising labor costs any orders or pre-orders that need to be cancelled before shipment will be assessed a 5% cancellation/restocking fee on the order total including shipping and any other taxes or fees associated with the order.

Thank you for your understanding.
