The Spitfire Collection is a compilation released in 2007 by American thrash metal band Testament. The release consists of tracks from the Spitfire-era Testament titles as 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, as there are 5 different drummers (Louie Clemente, Jon Dette, Gene Hoglan, Dave Lombardo, John Tempesta, 3 different bassists (Greg Christian, Steve DiGiorgio, Derrick Ramirez), and 4 different guitarists (Glen Alvelais, James Murphy, Eric Peterson, Alex Skolnick) - though Peterson appears on all tracks. Chuck Billy provides vocals on all tracks, although on album during the era represented, there are two guest vocalists: Steve Souza, who sang the last 2 tracks on the First Strike Still Deadly release, and Star Nayea, who provided supplementary vocals on the acoustic tracks on Live at the Fillmore.
