SAMMY HAGAR - Standing Hampton

Trivia: Sammy has said that he was originally going to title this album "One Way To Rock". It was a British fan who told him of the term that came to be the title. In Cockney rhyming slang, a "Hampton" is a term for a penis. One that is "Standing", of course, would be a reference to an erection. This led to the album cover art that shows a gentleman greeting a woman in various states of undress.
