    This is an early rock masterpiece by Detroit's Bob Seger. It's every bit as good as his classic 'East Side Story'. Maybe even better, because this is a mixture of soul and rock and roll that truly could have only been created in a town like Detroit. I'm not sure how 'big' this song went nationallly. I know it was THE major noise in Motown.

    I see a 'good plus' copy on sale for eight dollars. That is a fair price for a record that has seen much better days. I recently purchased this copy on ebay, and it is in immaculate condition. My price? $11.51. I bring this up only to point out that I do NOT see much investment potential in vinyl. Studying ebay and Goldmine for over twenty years, values of rare records (and I mean 'rare') has deflated ridiculously over the last seven years. Certain items retain their 'rare' value. But not even mint Beatle rarities are immune to the anemic economy over the past eight years.

    My advice? If you LIKE a record, try to get it for a FAIR price. Buy it knowing you would be averse to selling it. I do believe the vinyl craze has peaked...some years ago. I have already suggested that Goldmine, Jerry Osborne....all of these publishers of the relative 'worth' of vinyl records do some serious rethinking about their prices for near mint items. As I said, even Beatles' rarities in wonderful shape are going for a third of stated prices that remained constant for over twenty years.

    Personally, I consider this 45 an important piece of Detroit rock and roll history. Perhaps nobody is interested in actual old rock and roll records anymore, even classic ones. What's more, I would have NO idea how to price this 45, but to me it is a fairly rare record, especially in pristine shape. Goldmine invariably leaves a lot of promo singles out of its listings, but I prize this record as much as my mint promo copies of Steppenwolf's 'Born to Be Wild' and the Jefferson Airplane's 'Somebody to Love'. (These last two items I picked up on ebay for a relatively low price.) Do I want to sell it? Hell no!
