OUTSTANDING RAW 1969 DETROIT GARAGE BANGER!
STILL IN ORIGINAL FACTORY SHRINK WRAP
+ RARE RAMBLIN GAMBLIN MAN STICKER!!
The BOB SEGER SYSTEM
Ramblin' Gamblin Man
USA - rainbow Capitol Records - ST 172
MINTY CLEAN ORIGINAL APRIL 1969 first pressing....
A RARE find in such brilliant minty clean condition and STILL IN THE ORIGINAL FACTORY SHRINK WRAPPER with the real rare "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man" sticker on outside of the cellophane wrapper > > > when first purchased in '68, most folks tore off the outer shrink wrapper, and there went the scarce RAMBLIN' GAMBLIN' MAN sticker, remaining a hard find collectible in itself...
This is the very first album by Bob Seger with his hard hitting side men in a classic trio format... and a real find for Seger fans, especially in minty clean condition as noted above...the album remains a real treasure of the Detroit sixties scene....
Standout tracks
Hard to list, because there are so many. Fourty plus years after they were recorded, the raw intensity of these tracks persists; they haven't lost a bit of power. In addition to the title track, standout cuts include:
"2+2=?" -- The album version has the dead stop near the end -- the 45 version has a guitar chord added, not because the song needs it, but because radio stations fear dead air. (Although it's not quite dead. Put the headphones on and you can hear someone come in just a fraction early.)
"Tales of Lucy Blue" -- Lucy Blue and Chicago Green both get another mention two albums later in "Lucifer."
"Ivory" -- The lyrics include the line, "You were born with a face that would let you get your way," later used in slightly different form in "Hollywood Nights"
"Down Home" is a killer cut (with a false ending), and the softer "Train Man" is also classic.
Listening to "The Last Song (Love Needs to Be Loved)" makes one wonder if Seger was inspired by Arthur Lee and Love...the way the melody bends around, you can almost imagine Lee singing it. Whatever, the track contends with the much later "Blue Monday" for one (actually two) of the most jarringly inept edits -- listen at the end where the chorus is scissored in and then back out.
For the first single off the album, Seger's manger Punch Andrews (and Seger) insisted on the antiwar rocker, "2+2=?" Remembers Punch: "Capitol was real conservative back then. They got real bent out of shape about my even suggesting that people should be questioning the war. I was literally thrown out of the office, and the record did a quick dive."
The oddity on the album is "Doctor Fine," a 1:05 instrumental -- the only instrumental on any Bob Seger album. The reason it's there is obvious. It's right after "2+2=?" -- a song so powerful that nothing can really follow it, hence the jam before getting into "The Last Song."
