Bob Seger turns 70 on Wednesday, and just in time for the Michigan rocker’s milestone birthday comes word that his breakthrough album, 1976’s Night Moves, will be reissued on 180-gram vinyl June 16.

Night Moves was Seger’s first studio effort to feature his longtime backing group, The Silver Bullet Band, and was his first album to reach the top 10 of the Billboard 200 chart, peaking at #8.

Bob recorded much of the album in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, with the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section.

Night Moves yielded two top-40 singles — the title track, which reached #4 on the Billboard Hot 100, and the #24 hit, “Mainstreet.”  It also includes the enduring tunes “Rock and Roll Never Forgets,” “Fire Down Below,” and “Mary Lou.”

The album has gone on to sell more than six million copies in the U.S., according to the Recording Industry Association of America.

Seger recently wrapped up a North American tour in support of his latest album, Ride Out.
