Bruce Springsteen / The Wild, The Innocent & The E Street Shuffle
Japan Early Press LP


CBS SOPO - 125

Appendices: “Original OBI” & “Insert”

Description: This is scarce Japanese Early Press copy ( released in 1975 ? ) of his 2nd album, coming with complete appendices. The back-cover shows its release year is 1973, while the insert indicates 1975. But none is on the label of disc ( See photo ). It’s hard to find Japanese promo copy of this album in complete shape even in my country. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: EX-/VG+ ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is excellent in condition, except for lightly worn corners & outer-edges. It’s lightly creased in right top corner of front. A few light spots are in upper portion of back. Otherwise it has no tear, ring-wear, dent, strip & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc looks nearly TOP in condition, keeping glossy. There are a few spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any scuff, scratch & hairline, which can be rated as "NM". But it’s lightly warped on its surface of each side, which does not affect its sound or play. Then it rates as “VG+”. Anyway no flaw on the groove…very clean disc, I guarantee you.

OBI: VG, which has brown spots in lower portion of back.

INSERT: G+, being lightly waving with light brown stain-marks in part on the surface of each page.
