![]() Take our word for it, assuming you haven’t played a pile of these yourself, balance is not that easy to find. All the elements from top to bottom should be heard in harmony with each other. Good top end extension to reproduce the harmonics of the instruments and details of the recording including the studio ambience. A veiled midrange is the rule, not the exception. It needs weight down low to rock the way the engineers wanted it to. This is fundamentally a pure rock record. ![]() The bigger the speakers you have to play this record the better. Less grit – smoother and sweeter sound, something that is not easy to come by on any Bob Seger album.Ī bigger presentation – more size, more space, more room for all the instruments and voices to occupy. What We’re Listening For on Bob Seger’s Albums Playing the record is the only way to hear all of the qualities we discuss above, and playing the best pressings against a pile of other copies under rigorously controlled conditions is the only way to find a pressing that sounds as good as this one does. No doubt there’s more but we hope that should do for now. Transparency and resolution, critical to hearing into the three-dimensional studio space.Natural tonality in the midrange - with all the instruments having the correct timbre.Tight, note-like, rich, full-bodied bass, with the correct amount of weight down low.Only the best vintage vinyl pressings offer the kind of Tubey Magic that was on the tapes in 1976 The most Tubey Magic, without which you have almost nothing.The biggest, most immediate staging in the largest acoustic space.What the best sides of Seger’s Must Own Classic album have to offer is not hard to hear: It may not have the audiophile appeal of Tea For The Tillerman, but it’s a blast when it sounds this good. Knock this album if you like, but there’s no denying it’s one of Seger’s best and certainly a ’70s classic. This copy is one of the better ones we played in our most recent shootout, no question about it. We brought in copy after copy that made us think, “I swear this sounds better on the radio!”įinally, after pulling together a ton of copies from different eras, we started to realize that there were indeed vinyl pressings of Night Moves that sounded right… but they are few and far between, the exception and not the rule so to speak. Most copies out there are thin and dry, which is no way to hear these classic ’70s tracks. It’s not easy to find killer pressings of this album - it took us plenty of fruitless shootouts before we figured anything out. ![]() If you are picky about your covers please let us know in advance so that we can be sure we have a nice cover for you. We guarantee that the cover we supply with this Hot Stamper is at least VG, and it will probably be VG+. Most of them will have at least some amount of ringwear, seam wear and edge wear. Vintage covers for this album are hard to find in clean shape. The complete list of titles from 1976 that we’ve reviewed to date can be found here.If you’re a Seger fan, or perhaps a fan of mid-’70s Classic Rock, this title from 1976 is surely a Must Own.And, because of his passion and craft, it remains a thoroughly terrific record years later.” 5 stars: “One of the universally acknowledged high points of late-’70s rock & roll. ![]()
