Um, I was here. I think people kinda already know what I think (same thing lots of others here might think): It's great that some of the stuff is resurfacing, but Seger will not be able to claim the Greatest Rock'n'Roll Album in the History of the Universe Award until all his early mid '60s to mid '70s punk rock singles are compiled in one place (and probably some tracks like "Lucifer" or "U.M.C." that may never have been actual singles per se'; I dunno, I'm too lazy to check now.)

Someone was telling me about a clip they'd seen of Seger doing Ramblin' Gamblin' Man on TV w/him switching between gtr and organ on the verses and choruses. I'd love to see that.

It seems to be a pretty obvious boot. Is there really a "Hall of Fame" records in Europe?

(xp)
The Hall of Fame comp that o.nate linked to looks great, but is missing a lot of tracks that i'd consider mandatory (lucifer, back in '72, u.m.c., ramblin gamblin man, rosalie, etc). A couple times on this board I've mentioned a vinyl bootleg best of seger's early years album i passed up at sam's jams in ferndale (which had a big pile of them) sometime in the early '80s, because i was to cheap to shell out 15 bucks or whatever. easily the dumbest missed record purchase of my life, and the last few times i checked, there was no evidence on the internet that such a record had ever even existed (assuming i didn't dream it in the first place, which is seeming more and more like a possibility, the older i get.) (i think it *may* have been on "seeds and stems records," also responsible for the legedary *michigan rocks* compilation, but maybe not.)

I did, late last year, when my old turntable completely stopped working! But all I play on it is used vinyl I find, usually, so the needle doesn't stay "new" long. And that sounds perfectly fine to me! I'm not gonna replace it every couple months; I have better things to spend money on, and it wouldn't make a difference to me anyway. I've never been an audiophile at all. Audiophiles are nuts.

That's true, but if you're talking about something like the Airwolf soundtrack, the chance of that coming back into print must be pretty close to nil, so it's a pretty safe investment for a collector.

Haha it's funny...Rob O'Connor is a Facebook friend, and a few months ago an online talk came around the topic of early Seger, and Rob happened to mention the "Bullets" comp, asking if anyone had heard it or had any info where it came from. I was happy to tell him. :D

One note about "Rambling' Gamblin' Man" - it was never mixed to stereo, only to mono, and unfortunately early on somebody decided to make a shitty fake-stereo copy that more or less replaced the mono version for many years. If you have the CD of the album of the same name, you'll notice that it's in fake stereo there too. The original mono mix wasn't issued until the double-CD Ultimate Hits compilation in 2011. Unfortunately, they compressed the shit out of it and spiked the treble.
You can find transfers from the original mono 45 on YouTube. Here's one below:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmB7MvL2slA

Thanks!! Was wondering about that, should have looked around.
― dow, Thursday, 6 July 2023 01:41 (ten months ago) link
so which version is on the new upload mookie, do u know?
― out-of-print LaserDisc edition (sleeve), Thursday, 6 July 2023 02:02 (ten months ago) link
i . . . don't. although i doubt a mono version would be 271 kbps, so it's probably the bad stereoed-up version
also there are both mono and stereo versions of the 'heavy music' comp out there -- which comprise tracks 1-6 of the 'never mind the bullets' comp i uploaded -- from which i took the stereo versions, which may or may not have been for the best?
joke's on me for assuming that one wouldn't use the best available recording i guess. although tbf everything on the comp i uploaded is ripped to -V0 from a reasonable flac source, and arguing over the fidelity of lossy audio files is a game for suckas
― mookieproof, Thursday, 6 July 2023 03:02 (ten months ago) link
Also true, and thanks again for doing this!
― dow, Thursday, 6 July 2023 03:31 (ten months ago) link
lol I ask b/c I bought the 45, I also have the Heavy Music 45, happy to send over rips to compare

btw I listened to this thing today and yr version totally rules, I think there are extra tracks? love it

was just listening to the original version a few days ago, so seeing this revival with an upgraded version is a very welcome treat.ta muchly for this mookieproof.

It truly is amazing that this thread is arguably the center of the best actual 'reissuing' of this period of his work, given his stature. Though per unperson's post seems like it's being partially redressed, but what are the sources they're using?
― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 6 July 2023 15:37 (ten months ago) link
I've only bought one of their releases, but their reputation is pretty solid, I think. They do a lot of obscure late 60s/early 70s titles from major labels' catalogs, kinda like what Wounded Bird used to do but with much nicer packaging.
― but also fuck you (unperson), Thursday, 6 July 2023 15:40 (ten months ago) link
Seems like whenever Seger is asked in interviews why his early stuff isn't more widely available, he says something like "Punch doesn't think it's that important, and whatever Punch says, goes."

xxxpost dear birdistheword: a helpless friend (not me, I swear) really digs the mono "RGM" except tone arm x dead air don't suit playlist he's making, wants to know if you or anybody can rec. a transfer on YouTube w/o dead air (cos he can't be arsed to find it himself, so I'm enabling/passing along request, thanks for your consideration and the link above, which is fine with me).
