Capitol Records/UMeBob Seger‘s 1994 Greatest Hits collection has just been certified diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America for sales of 10 million copies in the U.S. In honor of the milestone, the compilation and the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer’s 1969 debut album, Ramblin’ Gamblin’ Man, will be reissued on vinyl this Friday, June 2.
Greatest Hits will be released as two-LP set, available in 150-gram and 180-gram vinyl versions. The 12-track album peaked at #8 on the Billboard 200, and features such classic Seger tunes as “Night Moves,” “Turn the Page,” “Against the Wind,” “Mainstreet,” “Hollywood Nights,” “Still the Same,” “Old Time Rock and Roll,” “We’ve Got Tonight” and “Like a Rock.” A limited-edition purple-vinyl edition of Greatest Hits, pressed on 150-gram vinyl, can be purchased exclusively at BobSeger.com.
Ramblin’ Gamblin’ Man will be available as a single-disc collection pressed on 150-gram vinyl. The album, which the Michigan rocker recorded with his early band The Bob Seger System, included his first top-20 hit, the title track, as well as the anti-Vietnam War anthem “2 + 2 = ?” A limited-edition blue-vinyl version of the record will be released on June 9.
