Not 4 Sale (Sammy Hagar Album)
''Not 4 Sale'' is the thirteenth studio album by American rock singer Sammy Hagar, and the second album by Hagar's backup band The Waboritas. As it was released in the US on Hagar's own Cabo Wabo Music label, problems arose with distribution; the release date passed without copies being delivered to several national retail chains. It peaked at #11 on the ''Billboard'' Independent Albums chart. Song information *"Stand Up" was originally written by Hagar for the film '' Rock Star''. It appears here with new lyrics. *The studio version of "Hallelujah" is included as the only studio track on '' Live: Hallelujah''.

"Kashmir" is a song by the English rock band Led Zeppelin. Included on their sixth album ''Physical Graffiti'' (1975), it was written by Jimmy Page and Robert Plant with contributions from John Bonham over a period of three years with lyrics dating to 1973.
