Amazing shots all. I would drop some serious change on this.

tyler, we need HD scans of these photos -- like 600 dpi.

also here's my tracklisting for a double LP. feel free to make alternative suggestions.

SIDE A (23:32)
the ballad of the yellow beret
east side story
sock it to me santa
florida time
persecution smith
chain smokin'
heavy music (part 1)
heavy music (part 2)
2 + 2 = ? (single version)

SIDE B (24:41)
ramblin' gamblin' man
tales of lucy blue
down home
noah
lucifer
highway child
mongrel
leanin' on my dream
lookin' back

SIDE C (23:06)

midnight rider
bo diddley/who do you love
love the one you're with

rosalie

SIDE D (22:49)

also yeah the studio shot HAS to be front the cover. the seger with the mic shot is the back cover with track listing on either side.

Hey fellas, while we're at it here's the inside sleeve art I made for my humble edit awhile back

(& I used the righteous mike pic from upthread for the front)

OK, so I objected that the studio shot lacked focus. Let's give it some focus:

the natural one is like, perfection tho

I agree

love that we're all plotting out a hypothetical 2LP here

well, it actually needs to happen. Lord knows that 2009-2010 were all about these amazing 2LP comps of amazing African, Asian music what have you. let's all band together as the ILX community and create this thing. we should setup a PayPal address from some anonymous shit, and if everyone through in like 10 bucks, they'd get a copy of the 2LP

We just need ppl w/ skills, both design and ninja wise, to make something relatively easy like this happen

wish I could contribute, other than the $$. I am big IT guy but never design

basically, we need to find a way to evade Bob's lawyers...

i bet it can be done!

cheap pressing plant that asks no question? eksmfg.com

probably is that we need high-quality vinyl rips (like FLAC quality) otherwise the vinyl will sound like the shit MP3s that are circulating.

and by "probably" i meant "problem"

also the text on my cover art isn't perfectly centered. somebody want to re-do this and fix that? hey, anybody want to hook me up w/ a copy of photoshop for mac????

I have these as a WAV quality CDR thanks to Myonga, so that's not an issue (xp)

Thread is deindexed.

but were the WAVs made from MP3s??

anyone out there have a collection of original Seger 7"s?

I didn't think so but Myonga would know xp

pash modding like a champ and good citizen :)

Haha, not me, nope xxpost! CDs and CD-Rs only. I am but a link in the chain.

That album cover art is breathtaking indeed! I can't look at that picture of Hudson's without thinking "Stay alive with the MC5!"

but were the WAVs made from MP3s??

there are ways to tell if a WAV has mp3 in its lineage...

http://audiohub.org/get/fa/sa.htm

Oh yeah - all the files were originally mp3 or wma. The WAVs were originally mp3s that I tried to de-noise a bit (and usually wound up leaving mostly untouched)

I've done it before </nerd>

xp

aw damn so much for that 2LP idea xxp

man i feel bad i missed on the action. dl'ing now (thx myonga for sharing)

only own ramblin' gamblin' man which i love, i feel like this is gonna be epic.

the "album art" studio shot is just amazing.

man east side story is getting things off with a bang!

btw what's the protocol for sharing this on the internet? or is it kinda an ilx only thing?

i put it on my blog, been seeing it around elsewhere too.

cool.

persecution smith is amazing! it's the best dylan ripoff this side of "a public execution" off the nuggets box

vagrant winter! goddamn!

tyler where is your blog, i sent myonga an email but i got a delivery status notification failure

here you go

ahaha ... was hoping that seger pic would become an internet sensation. it begins here!

omg that is awesome

man he looks like james hetfield in that pic

yeah totally

is ... is seger hetfield's real daddy?

bob seger daddy issues would explain a lot of late period metallica lyrics

lol yeah. Bob Seger Daddy Issues might make a good band name, too.

"Turn The Page" = grounds for disinheritance

ballad of the yellow berets is a real piece of shit, glad this was at the end

On my copy, which Myonga sent me the Christmas before last, "Sock It to Me Santa" and "Ballad of the Yellow Berets" are tracks 6 and 7. The track order is otherwise the same as the one sleeve posted upthread.

I don't want to screw with Myonga's original tracklisting too badly, and endorse it over all others, but the version I made for myself has "Ballad of the Yellow Berets" and "Noah" out, with "UMC" coming before "Cross of Gold," and the whole thing ending with "20 Years From Now," which I love and prefer as a closer to this comp. But since this is—and correct me if I'm wrong—a more or less strict listing of Seger's singles in chronological order, that doesn't make much sense. And Myonga is the originator of this whole thing, so I defer judgment to his tracklisting. I also would love to see "Need Ya" in there, but it might have to be excised due to running time.

Feel free to mess with the tracklisting! I did so myself after sending the first few copies out (moved "Yellow Berets" to the end, just for m@tt!), and again after uploading it for the second or third time. And the version I play at home is different as well - I excised "Get Out Of Denver", which I've never really been crazy about.

i realize i sounded ungrateful by talking bad about yellow berets...that's the only song i don't like or love...overall this is fucking great, so thanks again sir :)

"Yellow Berets" fascinates me in a way...is this the first song to use the term "gay" as homosexual? First one I know of anyways...

Yeah. I really like it just as a flip side to the protest songs of the time...historically, at least to me, its pretty intriguing
