Well, I picked up my copy of the new Bob Seger Ultimate Hits: Rock and Roll Never Forgets compilation (Capitol 46151) at a bargain price of $6.99 at Best Buy today (normal retail price is listed at $11.99). I was pleasantly surprised to see the CDs packaged in a standard plastic jewel box and not in some cheap flimsy cardboard digipak like so many modern day CD releases. Unfortunately, I was disappointed to discover that "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man" has indeed received the "loudness wars" treatment with the overly maximized levels and squashed dynamic range. It's better than not having the song on CD at all, I guess.]]> Mon, 21 Nov 2011 16:20:12 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2399&PID=32018&title=question-on-segers-ramblin-gamblin-man#32018 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2399&PID=32014&title=question-on-segers-ramblin-gamblin-man#32014 Author: Todd Ireland

I look forward to picking up this 2-CD compilation and finally acquiring Seger's ridiculously elusive "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man" after all these years. I know it's probably too much to ask nowadays from the major record labels, but I sure hope the track doesn't suffer from the typical modern-day "loudness wars" mastering with overly maximized audio levels and a squashed "brickwalled" dynamic range.]]> Sun, 20 Nov 2011 19:28:36 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2399&PID=32014&title=question-on-segers-ramblin-gamblin-man#32014 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2399&PID=32011&title=question-on-segers-ramblin-gamblin-man#32011 Author: Santi Paradoa

That's great news Bill. There are still a few more of Bob's hit 45 versions that have not been on CD yet.]]> Thu, 20 Oct 2011 20:20:08 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2399&PID=31783&title=question-on-segers-ramblin-gamblin-man#31783 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2399&PID=31781&title=question-on-segers-ramblin-gamblin-man#31781 Author: Bill Cahill

Ed,
i'm not totally sure, but i think the "version" qualifies because the LP version was electronically enhanced to the fake stereo with added reverb.
And, yeah, as had been stated besides the electronic enhancement, they also EQ'd it so poorly that it sounds LIFELESS on the album. What an embarrassing shame that is.
So, the mono 45 mix was never folded down from that LP mix, the LP "mix" was made later by adding something...hence "version".

And, as had been described above, you CAN successfully repair the version on CD, with a complete re-master. It works best to use only one channel, the one with less added reverb. Then massively RE-EQ it with way more bass, a a lot more upper hi-end...then compress it until the beat slams so hard your foot can't help stomping.
That should do it.

i just listened to my commercial 45 versus the cd version from

(E) (2:20) Capitol 96261 Ramblin' Gamblin' Man (LP version)

there are 3 differences that i can discern....

first is the 45 is mono versus what i guess is a fold-down on the cd version...the difference is most noticible while listening with headphones...

second the commercial 45 runs about 0:02 longer than the version from the cd

third, the cd version is slightly FASTER than the vinyl 45 (45 runs 2:23 and the cd runs 2:20)

other than these outlined, what would be the reasons for the "lp version" qualifier in the db.........if you can listen thru the distored fold down version, they are very much alike.....

Has anyone else figured out why the promo listed the artist as just Bob Seger? I too now have a nice clean promo copy (in better condition than my stock copy, even)...it definitely is original, cost me a bit more than i wanted though, but i am glad to have found it.]]> Mon, 06 Apr 2009 23:29:29 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2399&PID=21914&title=question-on-segers-ramblin-gamblin-man#21914
