Description
Palladium Records MS 2126 stereo from 1973 with nine songs in all. Returning to independent status, Bob Seger recorded "Back in '72", not only the finest of his early '70's albums but one of the great lost hard rock albums of its era. Seger didn't limit himself to self-penned songs on this excursion; borrowing an idea from Smokin' O.P.'s, he covers quite a few tunes, providing a balance to his own tunes. He makes "Midnight Rider" sound as if it were a Motor City raver instead of a sultry, late-afternoon Southern rocker, while casually tossing off "Rosalie," an irresistible ode to a local DJ that turned into a hard rock anthem when Thin Lizzy decided to the original and cover, it's all united in a celebration of rock & roll. That's why "Turn the Page, perhaps the weariest travelogue ever written, never feels self-pitying; that's just the facts, according to a first-rate Midwestern band that never got a break. All the same, "Back in '72" is a testament to great rock & roll, thanks to Seger's phenomenal songwriting and impassioned playing. The cover has a cut corner & minimal wear, is VG+(+). The vinyl, visually, is VG++ and plays well.
