Queens of the Stone Age - Gamma Ray [EP]

The band's original name and first release was Gamma Ray, a two-track EP Featuring songs "Born to Hula" and "If Only Everything", released in January 1996. The name Gamma Ray was dropped when another artist who had already copyrighted the name threatened to sue. Gamma Ray featured Joshua Homme (Kyuss), Matt Cameron (Soundgarden, Pearl Jam), Van Conner (Screaming Trees) and John McBain (Monster Magnet, Wellwater Conspiracy). The band's first live appearance was November 20, 1997, at OK Hotel in Seattle, Washington.


Since Man's Ruin went under (and even before then), this vinyl was super hard to get. Expect to pay a good bit for one on Ebay.
