Description
This 5 LP boxed set captures the essence of Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band's live performances during the years 1975-85. The vinyl records are in 33 RPM speed and come in a cardboard box set case type. The records are very well-preserved and graded as Very Good Plus (VG+), while the sleeve grading is Very Good (VG).
The box set includes original inner sleeve, booklet insert, and original cover. The vinyl records feature the legendary band's blues rock style and are a must-have for any rock 'n' roll or oldies genre fan. The release year of this set is 1986, and it was manufactured in the United States.
Why buy a first or early pressing and not a re-issue or a ‘re-mastered’ vinyl album?
First and early pressings are pressed from the first generation lacquers and stampers. They usually sound vastly superior to later issues/re-issues (which, in recent times, are often pressed from whatever 'best' tapes or digital sources are currently available) - many so-called 'audiophile' new 180g pressings are cut from hi-res digital sources…essentially an expensive CD pressed on vinyl. Why experience the worse elements of both formats? These are just High Maintenance CDs, with mid-ranges so cloaked with a veil as to sound smeared. They are nearly always compressed with murky transients and a general lifelessness in the overall sound. There are exceptions where re-masters/re-presses outshine the original issues, but they are exceptions and not the norm.
First or early pressings nearly always have more immediacy, presence and dynamics. The sound staging is wider. Subtle instrument nuances are better placed with more spacious textures. Balances are firmer in the bottom end with a far-tighter bass. Upper-mid ranges shine without harshness, and the overall depth is more immersive. Inner details are clearer, the music tends to sound more ‘alive’ and vibrant and you 'hear' what the mixing and mastering engineers wanted you to hear when they first recorded the music.
ABOUT THE SELLER,
All the albums I sell on eBay are from my mother's personal collection. She had great taste and took good care of hers items. She is gone now but she lives on inside me and through her music. I love you mom and thanks for everything you did for me. Sorry I was a real jerk at times.
I have about 400 Lp's from the 60's and 70's (first presses) so if you have anything in particular in mind let me know and I probably got it. I will be happy to prioritize listing your request first.
All items come from pet and smoke free home and I ship same or next day(besides Sunday). The items are packed with care so they arrive as you expect them to; in the same condition as you see in the pictures. I take a lot. Thank you for your interest and support.
