BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN & THE E STREET BAND – LIVE/1975–85
Original 1986 U.S. 1st Pressing 5-LP Box Set | Factory Sealed | Original Hype Sticker | Columbia C5X 40558
A genuine, untouched time capsule from November 1986. Still enclosed in its original factory shrink-wrap with the iconic front hype sticker intact, this monumental 5-LP set captures The Boss and the E Street Band at the absolute peak of their arena-level power and intimacy alike. Digitally mixed by Bob Clearmountain and cut from original multitrack tapes with mastering by Bob Ludwig at Masterdisk, this set represents one of the definitive live audio achievements of the decade.

Condition & Collector's Assessment
-
Vinyl Condition: Mint (M). Completely untouched, virgin grooves housed safely within since 1986. 100% unplayed.
-
Hype Sticker: Deep black with sharp, crisp silver/white text, sitting flat against the shrink with no peeling, heavy scuffing, or ink loss.
-
Slipcase Box: EX / VG++. The structural integrity of the outer slipcase is exceptional—rigid, completely flat, and square with zero dishing, crushing, or structural bowing. The front and rear artwork retain their deep, glossy contrast. As typical for a 40-year-old heavyweight 5-LP set, there is natural shrink-wrap separation along a portion of the bottom/side seam edge and light shelf friction on the exposed corner tips, but the box remains tightly sealed and fully protected.
Shipping & Returns Policy
Professional Packaging
-
Secure Handling: Your record will be shipped in a dedicated, heavy-duty cardboard mailer (LP or 45 specific) with extra cardboard stiffeners to prevent bending or crushing.
-
Pro-Tip Protection: To prevent seam splits during transit, all opened records are shipped with the vinyl removed from the jacket (housed in its inner sleeve) and placed behind the jacket within a 4mil clear poly outer sleeve. (Note: For factory sealed items, records remain sealed inside to protect original collector integrity unless unsealing is explicitly requested by the buyer prior to dispatch.)
-
45s: 7" records are shipped with the same level of care in dedicated 7-inch mailers.
Fast & Tracked Shipping
-
Handling Time: I ship within 1–2 business days of receiving cleared payment.
-
Tracking: A tracking number will be provided immediately upon shipment.
-
Combined Shipping: I am happy to combine shipping. Please wait for a revised invoice before paying to receive the discounted rate.

The "Collector’s Guarantee": I use strict Goldmine Grading standards. If you feel the record does not match the description or grading, please contact me directly before leaving feedback. I am a collector first and I value your satisfaction.
-
30-Day Returns: I accept returns within 30 days. The item must be returned in the exact same condition it was received.
-
🚨 CONDITION POLICY: For opened records, returns are accepted if the item is returned in the same condition as sent. Any new scratches, sleeve scuffs, or damage to the jacket incurred while in the buyer's possession will void the full refund. For factory sealed collector records, returns cannot be accepted once unsealed.
-
Shipping Costs: Buyer is responsible for return shipping costs unless there was a significant error in the listing.
