"Gamma never reached the same commercial success that Ronnie Montrose's other band, Montrose, did. Still, I love this band!Maybe it's because they were never considered a progressive rock band or a hard rock band. Actually, I really liked their version or hard-edged rock and roll with heavy guitars but a strong dose of synthesizers. Besides, Davey Pattison, the vocalist for Gamma, was a great, great, hard rock vocalist. He has since moved onto blues, but he and Ronnie Montrose have left a legacy of unique, sophisticated progressive rock in the form of Gamma.I just wish that all three Gamma records were available on CD!Gamma fans: there is an english import called 'Gamma-Concert Classics'. This disc has live versions of many of the cuts off Gamma1!"

Excellent Listening

"I've enjoyed Ronnie since his days with Edgar Winter. He was part of that group when they did "Frankenstein." His work with Gamma started off great and only got better with time. I was saddened to see Gamma break up, but the only thing predictable about Ronnie Montrose is that he is unpredictable. His post-Gamma instrumental projects were all interesting enough to make me listen time and time again. The only tracks I wish had been included on this CD that didn't make the cut are Mayday and Moving Violation. But otherwise, this is a great representation of what Gamma did. Now, stop reading and buy it!"

"I can remember being back stage sat at a Gamma Concert with Y&T. Waiting to meet the man that brought me to tears everytime he picked up a guitar. Beholden to me I met my idol who made my teen heart beat faster than I ever imagined. He was my ROCK GOD! This CD holds every moment of what Ronnie Montrose is and stood for..Progressive Rock for the times. His imagination produced music that never was heard before and when Ronnie took off he went straight to the moon. My favorite Voyager, takes you away on a melodic trip and never lets you down...Fight to the Finish another fav, only does one better....and I'm alive, well that one makes me feel like "I'M ALIVE! Get it Right the First Time and spend your $ here..."
