High Quality Actual 1975 Japanese First Pressing Of The Classic Bruce Springsteen LP ~ Vinyl Still In Wonderful Condition! Gatefold Cover With Lyrics Includes 4-Page Insert, Labels Are Clean.
With two ambitious but under-selling albums behind him, Springsteen needed a hit for his third, and he knocked it out of the park. A sheer epic, fueled by tangible energy, the idealised notion of escape, and the romance of youth, Born to Run scorched earth upon release and remains a career-defining classic.
Condition – Vinyl: NEAR MINT! Fantastic, especially for a record that is nearly 50 years old!
Condition – Cover: VERY GOOD PLUS! Some signs of foxing.
Japanese vinyl pressings are highly sought after by audiophiles and collectors, due to their premium sound quality and beautifully presented packaging. The sonic quality of Japanese records is regarded as the best in the world. No wonder all the original Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab records were pressed in Japan! The covers are printed on better quality heavy stock paper too. Near Mint condition original Japanese pressings are becoming scarcer ~ and therefore more collectable and valuable every year.

Bruce took a sonic leap with Born to Run -- his intentional masterpiece. Springsteen's make-or-break third album represented a sonic leap from his first two. Springsteen's backup band had changed, with his two virtuoso players, keyboardist David Sancious & drummer Vini Lopez, replaced by the professional but less flashy Roy Bittan and Max Weinberg. The result was a full, highly produced sound that contained elements of Phil Spector's melodramatic work of the 1960s. Layers of guitar, layers of echo on the vocals, lots of keyboards, thunderous drums -- Born to Run had a big sound, and Springsteen wrote big songs to match it. The overall theme of the album was similar to that of The E Street Shuffle; Springsteen was describing, and saying farewell to, a romanticized teenage street life. To call Born to Run overblown is to miss the point; Springsteen's precise intention is to blow things up, both in the sense of expanding them to gargantuan size and of exploding them. If The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle was an accidental miracle, Born to Run was an intentional masterpiece. It declared its own greatness with songs and a sound that lived up to Springsteen's promise.
