Description

  • Bruce Springsteen released his fourth studio album "Darkness On The Edge Of Town" in June 1978 on Columbia Records. It came out nearly three years after "Born In The USA" because of a contract dispute with former manager Mike Appel. Singles included "Prove It All Night," "Badlands," and "The Promised Land." He was backed by the entire E Street Band but they only get credit on the inner sleeve.

  • This copy (JC 35318) is from the first pressing and is in excellent condition. It is still in its original factory shrink wrap so it easily grades VG+ along with the card stock inner sleeve and two-sided lyrics sheet insert. Please see the pictures. The disc test plays cleanly and is also VG+. It was mastered by TML in Los Angeles and pressed at the Columbia Records plant in Terra Haute, Indiana. The dead wax on Side 1 is etched PAL-35318-1E TML-M (stamped) 0 T2.

  • In addition to its original packaging, this album will come with a high quality Anti-Static Round Bottom Inner Sleeve to hold the vinyl disc and a sturdy 3 mil. polyethylene Archival Quality Outer Sleeve.

  • Free shipping is included in the special corrugated album mailer seen in the last picture.

  • This vintage 12" vinyl album has been sitting upright on a shelf in climate controlled storage for the past 42 years. It has not been played in decades other than a quick test spin for this sale which found no skips or obvious flaws. Like all used records it should be cleaned and wiped with an anti-static brush to minimize the occasional pops that are part of playing vinyl albums. Buyers should note that this is a well-cared for but used record and it will have some minor imperfections.
