Gamma Ray (EP)



Gamma Ray is the debut EP from American rock band Gamma Ray, which later became known as Queens of the Stone Age in 1997. It features two songs, both of which would later be re-recorded. If Only Everything would later be featured at the Kyuss/QOTSA split EP, and then re-recorded as "If Only" on their 1998 eponymous debut album. Born to Hula also features the Kyuss/QOTSA split, and would be re-recorded as a b-side on 2000's "The Lost Art of Keeping a Secret", 2004's Stone Age Complication and the reissue of Rated R. It is out of print.



 Tracklist

Vinyl info
Gamma Ray EP was printed on 7'' vinyl. 2000 copies were pressed on clear vinyl. Half of them have a G and a ray at the center and the other half have several black circles with gray stright-forward superimposed on them. Since Man's Ruin went under, the vinyl pressings are extremely rare and pricy. The insert in one of the two pressings says "READ THIS: This is the Gamma Ray featuring Josh Homme of Kyuss fame. It is not that guy from Helloween or whatever." There also is a test pressing, but only about 10 of those exist. The test pressing comes in a paper sleeve and the vinyl is black with a white center.
