The Essential Red Collection is a greatest hits album by Sammy Hagar. It includes some of his early works, from "Bad Motor Scooter" with Montrose, released demos, film soundtrack songs to more recent material. It was released in 2004 on Hip-O Records. It excludes songs from his time with Van Halen.
"Thinking of You" was retooled for Hagar's first album, Nine on a Ten Scale, and included with the title, "Rock 'n' Roll Romeo".
A different version of "Heavy Metal" was included on the Heavy Metal soundtrack. The version included here, however, was the re-recorded version for his Standing Hampton album.
"Winner Takes It All", "Give to Live", and "Eagles Fly" feature Edward Van Halen on bass guitar.
