The album was renamed \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eI Never Said Goodbye\u003c\/span\u003e, the name being chosen as part of an \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eMTV\u003c\/span\u003e promotional contest. Some pressings retain the title \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eSammy Hagar\u003c\/span\u003e, not to be confused with the 1977 album \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eSammy Hagar\u003c\/span\u003e. This was Hagar's only solo album released while he was a member of Van Halen. The album was recorded in ten days as a contractual obligation to Geffen Records as a condition of his leaving the label to join Van Halen and their record label, Warner Bros. Records (Geffen's distributor at the time, and also, Hagar's home when he was part of Montrose). It features Eddie Van Halen on bass guitar, who said in an interview that he also played a very brief part on guitar uncredited. The songs \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eGive to Live\u003c\/span\u003e and \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eEagles Fly\u003c\/span\u003e were also performed live by Van Halen together with Hagar. \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eGive to Live\u003c\/span\u003e topped the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart in 1987, a first for Hagar as a solo artist. \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eBoys' Night Out\u003c\/span\u003e was performed live on the American TV show \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eLate Night with David Letterman\u003c\/span\u003e. \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eReturning Home\u003c\/span\u003e was intended to be a sequel to \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eSilver Lights\u003c\/span\u003e from Hagar's first album \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eNine on a Ten Scale\u003c\/span\u003e. Whereas \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eSilver Lights\u003c\/span\u003e was a story about aliens taking humans from Earth, \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eReturning Home\u003c\/span\u003e tells the story of the humans' return trip. Hagar said that it could also apply to a tale that his future self might tell a child at that time. \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003ePrivacy\u003c\/span\u003e was inspired by several run-ins that Hagar had with the California Highway Patrol while driving in his car with black-tinted windows. While a court challenge would always rule in Hagar's favor, the law could not prevent the police from repeatedly pulling him over and giving him tickets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Record Vision","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52793751535897,"sku":"GHS-24144","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0992\/6937\/8329\/files\/LP-sammy_hagar-i_never_said_good_bye-20.jpg?v=1783554448","url":"https:\/\/record-vision.myshopify.com\/products\/ghs-24144","provider":"Record Vision","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
