The song was responsible for transforming Seger from being a popular regional favourite into a national star. It also charted at number five in Canada and was a top 25 hit in Australia. Like so many American voices, Seger just wanted to marry Bob Dylan. Released as a single in December 1976, ‘Night Moves’ reached number four on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Seger’s first hit single since ‘Ramblin’ Gamblin’ Man’ from 1969. Night Moves was Seger doing Springsteen slumming it with ZZ Top, it was Jackson Browne getting groovy with the Allman Brothers. As much of Seger’s Silver Bullet Band had returned home by this point, the song was recorded with several local session musicians. Bob Seger’s first album with The Silver Bullet Band is chock full of rough-around-the-edges Detroit rock ‘n’ roll and is the record that finally catapulted. It took him six months to write and was recorded quickly at Nimbus Nine Studios in Toronto, Ontario, with producer Jack Richardson. It was based on Seger’s own teenage love affair he experienced in the early 1960s. Seger wrote the song as a coming of age tale about adolescent love and adult memory of it. To this day, no one outside of JVC is privy to JVC's SuperVinyl formula, arguably the quietest, finest-sounding vinyl ever made.‘Night Moves’ was originally the lead single and titular song from Seger’s ninth studio album which was released on Capitol Records in 1976. "I don't know, some kind of philosophy of 'We're done with this, it's not going to be of any use anymore.' ''Įqually frustrating, the guys who worked in the pressing plants, possessing all of this key knowledge MacInnis would like to tap into, and who would like to help, seem to be forbidden by JVC from doing so. "Did you ever hear of a company willing to destroy its assets when buyers were available?" I asked MacInnis. .MacInnis, through Henderson, offered to pay JVC to have its pressing-plant experts spend a few weeks at RTI to help them improve their quality. JVC didn't just shut the plant down, it destroyed all of the presses, even though many companies-including Tam Henderson's Reference Recordings-tried to buy them. "During my discussion with MacInnis we touched on many subjects, including what JVC did to its premier pressing facility in Japan, which once did contract work for King "Super Analog," Reference, and Mobile Fidelity, among others. I remembering reading about some kind of toxic problems with the formula but can't find the info anymore, but I just came across this that says when JVC shut its vinyl operation down, it simply would not share or even sell the formula, nor would it divulge info about its pressing processes: Analog Corner #16 Analog Corner #16 Michael Fremer | Nov 11, 1996
