BACK IN '72
\ USA - PALLADIUM RECORDS - MS 2126 - PROMO
FIRST PRESSING PROMOTIONAL with BIO INSERT
RARE 1973 original first pressing on the DETROIT LOCAL "Palladium" label in **clean** condition...
Every legendary artist has a legendary album that's hard or impossible to find, and "Back IN '72" is Seger's 'lost' Lp. Never released on CD. Even ex Seger manager 'Punch' claims not to have a copy of "Back in '72,"
Back in '72 album owes most of its ongoing fame to "Turn the Page," one of the two or three most popular Seger songs. But more than that, the whole album captures the energy of a young Seger just on the cusp of greatness. Seger has said he won't reissue the album in CD format because he feels many of the vocals are bad. (they're actually raw & burning!)
Bob Seger sez: "Back In '72 has a couple of decent songs on it, but the mix is so awful. One of these days I'm going to get some time, and I'd like to sing some of those songs again. I thought I sang some of those so terrible."
But actually, truth be known, the raw energy and rough feel of the vocals are priceless.
One of Seger's most enduring songs,"Turn the Page" remains in the live show to this day.
Bob Seger sez: "We recorded "Turn the Page" four times over a period of three years, until we finally got the cut...my manager hated that song...[he said] 'it's too down, it's too dark'...[but] that is my favorite song on the album." "You do have a lot of dark days on the road...you have a lot of good days, too...but basically we're in a very dog-eat-dog business, and you can get pretty dark sometimes, and if you're able to translate that, which I think Turn the Page" does more effectively than anything else I've ever done before..."
Other tracks include:
"Rosalie"
A great rocker, and a killer song that was covered by another great band -- Thin Lizzy. In fact, it was one of the first Seger songs to be recorded by another popular band.
"Back in '72", "Neon Sky", "I've Been Working"The title track simmers and boils (and includes the lyric "You know my music died and hurt my pride, but somehow I pulled through, back in '72"). Seger claimed that the song never went over well live, so it never became part of the live act. Too bad -- it's a gem.
Other standout cuts include "Neon Sky," (the vocal delivery on the line "The devil is red, but his money is green" is priceless and captures the essence of early '70s Seger.)
"I've Been Working," the only Van Morrison song on any Seger album, also cooks, and then some.
Midnight Rider
"Midnight Rider" was the first single off the album.
Seger does a stellar version of this Allman Brothers song -- in fact, Seger's uptempo version is much hotter, and has much more soul than the mournful original.
Unfortunately, after Seger's version was recorded, but before it was released, Joe Cocker came out with his uptempo cover of the same song. Cocker was already an established star, and his recording of "Midnight Rider" totally pre-empted Seger's version.
Seger: "[We] had our own feel on it...we really got burned on that one...because Joe Cocker came out with it [first]...
