The Spitfire Collection is a compilation album released in 2007 by Spitfire Records. The release consists of tracks from the Spitfire-era Testament titles Live at the Fillmore (actually re-released by Spitfire), Demonic (also a re-release by Spitfire), The Gathering, First Strike Still Deadly, and Live in London.
Of note is the number of musicians present on this compilation; there are five different drummers ( Louie Clemente, Jon Dette, Gene Hoglan, Dave Lombardo, John Tempesta), three different bassists ( Greg Christian, Steve DiGiorgio, Derrick Ramirez), and four different guitarists ( Glen Alvelais, James Murphy, Eric Peterson, Alex Skolnick), though Peterson appears on all tracks.
Chuck Billy provides vocals on all tracks, but there is one guest vocalist: Steve Souza, who sang the last two tracks on the First Strike Still Deadly release.
