_______________________________________________________________________
Smokin'OP's was recorded originally on the Platinum Records label
prior to Bob Seger signing with Capitol Records and before Bob formed
the Silver Bullet Band. It was out of print for some time until
Capitol reissued it sometime in the 90s. It should still be available
thru the EMI/Capitol sales/distribution network. And I agree with
David J.....the solo on "Carpenter" is incredible. I worked with Bob
Seger for many years and I asked him about how they recorded OP's and
he said they just went in the studio and pretty much cut it live...not
a lot of overdubs, etc. As David J. mentioned...Skip just burned that
solo live right there in the studio.
