Bob Seger Reissue News

Chrissakes!

"scottybloom at rogers dot com"!

Gotcha, Mordy, thanks xpost

Thanks a million, MVB. This stuff cooks.

Yeah, I've been loving this stuff ... is everything converted to mp3 now? I could never get those few wav files to play or convert ...

All of them were mp3.

why isn't this available on slsk?

What's the correct order for the tracks?

A thousand thank-yous, Myonga!

myonga rules!!!

"persecution smith" is a ridiculous dylan ripoff, sure, but it's got this bubblegummy chorus that suggests he had a monkees LP on the changer, too. maybe even some archies. it's brilliant.

still absorbing the rest.

Yeah, it's pretty great. Also: DO YOU SEE how easily the lyrics can be repurposed for laughs to be about 2010 and cr*zy t**b*gg*rs.

Has anyone detected the bowling alley sounds said to be on the early tracks? I can't, but I'm kinda deaf.

(I think I mentioned this in another Seger thread but) real early on, he played the cafeteria at my dad's high school, and when someone asked him (pointedly, perhaps) to play some Dylan, his response was something like "I don't play Bob Dylan. I play Bob Seger."

hey folks, I sent in the CDDB info for Myonga's CDR, so if you have the CDR version you should get the track titles now! One more step in "legitimizing" this, still hoping for P&J votes.

Thanks, sleeve! (Too bad that the first few I sent have a slightly different sequence...)

whoops! tell me what it is now and I will reconfigure, I need to burn a copy for a friend anyway so I'll do it with the correct order and reup it. I have a hunch it has to do with the placement of "Sock It To Me Santa"...

still hoping for P&J votes

Nearly a third of the way into the year, it's still on track to get 30 of mine.

The cdr MVB circulated utterly kills, not a bad track on it. Quite a shock for someone like me who assiciates this guy with "Like A Rock" etc. Frigging awesome!

is there still a dl link for the latest version of this avaliable? I got the earlier version, but that was the one with .wav files ... either way, it is awesome.

Mine was just the first download, not the CDR. Anyway, it kills.

tyler I converted the wmv tracks to mp3 and that's what I'm listening to. If nothing else I could up that.

not an emergency, but if you've got the time, that'd be awesome, Jon.

hey i never got the email with the link to the CD/mp3s!

Yeah, no bout adoubt it. Along with the Runaways soundtrack, it's the best hard rock 'record' I've listened to this year. If Seger had any sense he'd pay MVB a fee for artistic consulting,
give him a piece per unit sold and put it in stores. Rhino Handmade couldn't have done a better job. That's assuming Seger owns all the rights now.

Joining the chorus for Myonga's Bob Seger comp. Might get my P&J #1 as well!

damn people, give me a link!

Damn, I was SURE I'd sent you one months ago! When i get home I'll try again. (Or for the first time, as the case may be...)

Fuckin Ramblin Gamblin Man Maaaaaaaaan

Metal Mike Saunders, last week:

if i may interrupt the 24/7 KE$HA unpaid fanboy promo-work for 5 seconds
this 1970 Seger regional hit 45
was one of the awesomest greatest soundingg 45s EVER
whatever CCR's greatest chartalmost-topper (they had many no.2's, never a no.1 single)
this motherfucker is JUST AS GOOD OR BETTER i mean holy fuckiing whoa WHAT A LEAD VOCAL
and killer guitar riff
1966-1970 bob seger we salute you!
and it's not even his greatest 45....

that would be (for my money, since it's a match for the orig Animals w/Eric Burdon's very greatest singles)
EAST SIDE STORY by Bob Seger and the Last Heard

Grazie!

:) thx!

yay!

Cheers - got Ramblin' Gamblin' Man on vinyl last month and it's in heavy rotation at the moment.

Those early tracks on your comp are pretty damn good

Yeah, great stuff on this comp. What is the preferred tracklisting? I just put it in chron order, wasn't sure (rough b/c I didn't want to put "Ballad of the Yellow Beret" first even though I think that is the earliest single). Next time around I'd be happy to u/l this, I've fully tagged it with release years, individual bands, etc. Thanks a lot for making it.

Thanks for the link! It's funny to think that these songs would be so surprising to people, but I guess if you didn't grow up in the Detroit area (where many of these were as ubiquitous on local radio as anything by, say, Foghat or Boston) then there's a good chance you haven't heard them yet.

i think i've found the perfect cover photograph for this (awesome) comp. stay tuned as i get my scanner working.

i am still tuned tylerw

oh right! will get that together. it's kind of an amazing photo.

Tyler- where's my cover photo?

And secondly, putting together my best of '10 list and this is one of the reissues. MVB Records the "official" label or are we crediting it differently?
