    Both the inner sleeve and poster are in very good shape. I haven't been able to pin down these particulare dead wax inscriptions. If anyone can help that would be great.

      One of the strongest Side 1s ever, if the album carried on with tracks of the same quality this would be on the level of Born to Run.

        Picked up in $1 box at local record shop. Beautiful pressing and album - great memories listening to Seger with my Dad back in the 70's and 80's. Pressing nearly flawless....sounds like an audiophile/Mofi recording. Reminder that the dollar bins often have some outstanding values!

                  Variant 3's A side is similar to the other 2 but the B is radically different. Need confirmation if this just a variant or an entirely different release.

                    Very good album to set back and listen to. Bob Seger never disappoints.
