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.

This is some serious bullshit. Outside of "UMC" and "Get Of Denver," how is any of this stuff what anybody would want on a good "early Seger" compilation?? (Not that I go to Meijer's much nowadays anyway.)

The tracklist just seems totally random.
And wtf??: Highlights of the collection are four unreleased tracks, three of which -- "Star Tonight," "Wildfire" and "Days When the Rain Would Come" -- were written during the early '80s
I guess that's "early" compared to, like, the late '00s?
― xhuxk, Wednesday, 4 November 2009 23:18 (fourteen years ago) link
weird. the track-listing is just weird. and dumb. and a wasted opportunity.
― scott seward, Wednesday, 4 November 2009 23:25 (fourteen years ago) link
because, you know, most know bob seger from his recent work like....uh....um....he did a chevy ad a few years back right?
face it -- the guy does not want his early singles reissued. we will see them over his dead body, i think.
― amateurist, Wednesday, 4 November 2009 23:26 (fourteen years ago) link
i mean, don johnson throwaways? thanks, bob.
― scott seward, Wednesday, 4 November 2009 23:26 (fourteen years ago) link
On the other hand, this is way beyond wishful thinking, but I can see how it might conceivably make some small sense from a business perspective -- Cut an exclusive deal with Meijer, pull a fast one on them by giving them all this useless crap that nobody wants, then save all the actual in-demand rarities for Walmart or Target or Cracker Barrel or somewhere...

If he wanted to reissue Ramblin' Gamblin' Man or Back in '72 on CD, he could do it easily. His last album sold really well. But he doesn't want to, presumably because of some rights issue(s).

My buddy put the song "Vagrant Winter" on a mix for me (he found the 45 somewhere in Chicago). It completely rules.I have always wanted to hear "Heavy Music" but I'm beginning to think it will never happen.
― Trip Maker, Wednesday, 4 November 2009 23:59 (fourteen years ago) link
that early stuff is floating around the interwebs. i managed to find it. if i can remember i can try to post it sometime.
― amateurist, Thursday, 5 November 2009 00:01 (fourteen years ago) link
I would think "Heavy Music" would be by far one of the easier of those tracks to find -- Smokin' OPs was only reissued on CD four years ago. (See top of this thread.)
― xhuxk, Thursday, 5 November 2009 00:07 (fourteen years ago) link
plus, if you just want to HEAR it, it's on youtube.

I love the idea of a Meijer exclusive though. Meijer Thrifty Acres - Why Pay More? Meijer is a union grocery chain and a lot of people in Michigan won't shop at Wal-Mart b/c of their anti-union stance. So the fact that Seger hooked up with Meijer almost outweighs this supremely dodgy track selection.
― Mark, Thursday, 5 November 2009 02:19 (fourteen years ago) link
that is true.
― amateurist, Thursday, 5 November 2009 03:21 (fourteen years ago) link
wow, re-recorded vocals, horns and other overdubs. what a sweetheart package!
there's a bootleg of seger singles called "'66-'67" that has the good stuff. also has "ballad of the yellow beret." and "santa's got a brand new bag."

Meijer Thrifty Acres
aka Meijer's Shifty Fakirs when I lived in Michigan.
gonna skip this seger set in favor of the rationals reissue. "leaving here" is the equal of any early seger IMHO>

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).
