Ronnie Montrose's band post-The Edgar Winter Group.
Sammy Hagar then-unknown) was on vocals with Denny Carmassi on drums + Bill Church on bass (played with Montrose on Van Morrison's Saint Dominic's Preview & Tupelo Honey).
Montrose was produced by iconic Rock-producer Ted Templeman.
This album has been voted as a Top-10 Heavy Metal favourite; in my day, we called this Hard Rock.

Well, I voted "No".
A neighbor back in the day had it...& I borrowed it a lot. "Rock The Nation" I loved (had something in there that reminded me of the bridge in "Badge").
Since I had easy access to Montrose, I bought Paper Money.
I forget how many cover bands I have heard do "Bad Motor Scooter".

There is an Original Album Series set that includes 5ea Montrose albums...so it's on my long list.

Yes and it's in perfect condition. I only played it once to record it to Cassette; nearly wore out the tape though. :-)
Their concert for that album, at Winterland in SF, ranks as one of my all-time favorite Hard Rock shows.

Years later bought it on Cd, and ripped it to digital. I still listen to it often.

I saw Montrose with Edgar Winter, been a fan ever since.
Ted Templeman was also the producer of the early Van Halen albums but this was five years prior, maybe the Van Halen template.;)

The three-piece band I was a part of in high school (1981-82) played Bad Motor Scooter, Rock Candy, and Make It Last. All were fun to play and the audience enjoyed them.

In 1983(?) I saw Sammy Hagar during his Red Rocker days. Fantastic show! But I never liked 'Van Hagar'. I saw one of their last shows here in Honolulu in 1995. Sammy was drunk and/or didn't give a crap anymore, forgetting lyrics, etc.

i liked certain aspects of him as a player,but that shift into the montrose band kind of thing not so much.....the whole arena rock thing just never did it for me,especially at the time as so much else was going on.....while everyone i knew was into that and foghat and a million other "loudnproud type acts...i sought out king crimson yes,jazz,blues,....almost everything but...
