Description



BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN - 'SPIRIT IN THE NIGHT'/'FOR YOU'
This ultra-rare U.S. stock copy of his 2nd 45 dates from initial May 1973 release on Columbia: 4-45864

It sold virtually nothing at all and is so rare that promo copies are easier to find

This genuine stock disc bears a small white promo sticker on the 'For You' label

Machine stamped matrices: ZSS158394-1C & ZSS158395-1A

The disc is housed within its original Columbia company sleeve


CONDITION

Disc

Labels: NEAR MINT

As you can see, both labels are bright & unblemished

Visual: EXCELLENT

Both playing surfaces are clean and free from any significant surface marks or wear in strong daylight. Closer examination beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp reveals a handful of light surface marks/hairlines on the 'Spirit In The Night' side. The 'For You' playing surface is also very clean with the only noticeable blemish being a tiny pin-head sized mark midway through the track. Both sides lie 100% flat on the turntable when playing

Sound Quality: EXCELLENT

This fine sounding copy has been barely played. Both tracks play cleanly and clearly without any groove/playwear distortion or background crackle/interference. My playcheck detected only a small handful of very light ticks on the introduction to 'Spirit In The Night'. There are also three light clicks & a single soft 'pop' (due to the aforementioned mark) on 'For You' but no skips, repeats or any other audible distractions elsewhere on this great copy

Cover: EXCELLENT
