Bob Seger Reissue News

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

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

if this were a CD comp it'd best be a hidden bonus track. you can't really do without it, but you don't want it front and center, you know what i mean? best to begin with 'east side story'.

incidentally "my" version of the CD comp is as follows

1. east side story
2. sock it to me santa
3. florida time
4. persecution smith
5. heavy music pt. 1
6. 2 + 2 = ?
7. ramblin' gamblin' man
8. ivory
9. noah
10. lucifer
11. highway child
12. teachin' blues
13. lookin' back
14. bo diddley/who do you love
15. midnight rider
16. so i wrote you a song
17. rosalie
18. turn the page
19. back in '72
20. 20 years from now
21. long song comin'
22. u.m.c. (upper middle class) -- i don't actually like this one much, but i didn't think i could fairly leave it out
23. get out of dener
[24. the ballad of the yellow beret]

btw that beautiful morning lp or whatever the acoustic one is called is HORRIBLE.

Just got this and dug it. Thanks, Myonga!

I found lossless (flac) versions of all of Seger's early albums. It's amazing how they remain out of print. The versions sound really good -- I can't tell if they were ripped from vinyl or not. I like 'em in this order:

1970 Mongrel
1973 Back In '72
1974 Seven
1968 Ramblin' Gamblin' Man
1975 Beautiful Loser
1972 Smokin' O.P.'s
1969 Noah
1971 Brand New Morning

Did you find them on a blog or via torrent? If on a blog, please share!

uh yeah, share please.

though brand new morning would suck in any format.

btw i think beautiful loser and smokin OPs are still in print.

Not blog nor torrent. I still use s...k.

smokin' o.p.'s is p easy to find on vinyl...so is ramblni' gamblin, hardly ever see mongrel which i want now
