Description
YOU ARE LOOKING AT A RARE ADVANCE TEST PRESSING VERSION OF THE 1975. BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN CLASSIC "BORN TO RUN" LP. IT COMES IN AN ALTERNATIVE SLEEVE THAT DIFFERS GREATLY FROM THE COMMERCIAL VERSION. THE NAME AND TITLE ARE IN SCRIPT LETTERING ON THE FRONT COVER AND THERE IS NO WRITING ON THE REAR OF THE SLEEVE. INSIDE THE GATEFOLD, THERE ARE NO PRINTED LYRICS AND THE PHOTOGRAPH OF BRUCE IS ABOUT TWICE THE SIZE OF THE ONE IN THE STANDARD VERSION. BOTH THE THIS PHOTOGRAPH AND THE ONE ON THE COVER HAVE A RICHER SEPIA QUALITY THAN THE ONES IN THE STANDARD RELEASE. THIS TEST PRESSING PACKAGE ALSO INCLUDES A LETTER DATED 8/13/75, LISTING ALL THE TECHNICAL DATA AND COPYRIGHT INFORMATION FOR THE LP. ALSO INCLUDED IS A 7" BY 5" BRIGHT ORANGE CARD THAT LISTS THE TRACKS OF THE LP, ERRONEOUSLY LISTING "MEETING ACROSS THE RIVER" AS "THE HEIST." THE LABEL IS A PRINTED COLUMBIA TEST PRESSING LABEL (DATED 1975 AND LISTING A PITMAN NJ ADDRESS) THAT HAS SOME OF THE BLANK AREAS FILLED OUT BY HAND. THE VINYL HAS THE MATRIX # (P AL-33795) ETCHED IN THE TRAIL OFF. THE CONDITION OF THE VINYL IS A STRONG VG+ WITH ONLY A FEW LIGHT, INAUDABLE MARKS AND SCUFFS. THERE ARE NO SIGNIFICANT SCRATCHES. THE COVER, AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTO, HAS A SIGNIFICANT CREASE IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER, WHICH IS ALSO PRESENT IN THE GATEFOLD AND ON THE REAR COVER. THERE IS ANOTHER, LESSER CREASE IN THE FAR LEFT CORNER, THAT ALSO GOES THROUGH TO THE REAR. THERE IS A BIT OF STAINING ON THE FRONT AND REAR AND THE REAR HAS A BIT OF RING WEAR. EMAIL IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS ITEM.
