Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J. (UltraDisc One-Step Pressing ) - Plak

The 1973 album establishes many of the signature themes and sounds that would shape Bruce Springsteen throughout his incomparable career. No wonder that a large number of the songs - 'Blinded by the Light', 'Lost in the Flood', 'Spirit in the Night' and others - are permanent fixtures in the legendary concerts of the New Jersey-born musician. Balancing the label's vision of him as a folk-based singer-songwriter with his own desire to play rock 'n' roll with a full band, Springsteen never made another record like it.

Derived from the original analog master tapes and pressed on MoFi SuperVinyl at RTI, the numbered UltraDisc edition of Mobile Fidelity One-Step 180g 33RPM LP set is the ultimate sounding version of Springsteen's daring debut. Taking advantage of SuperVinyl, with almost nonexistent noise floor, Greetings from Asbury Park, N. J. plays with a clarity, immediacy and emotionality that practically transports you to the New York office where Springsteen played a few originals for legendary Columbia Records manager John Hammond and landed a recording contract.

The music emerges with an openness that gives wings to the Boss' narratives. His words flow with unbridled, mind-expanding pace and vivid imagery. Equally important, Springsteen's still underrated vocal performances can now be enjoyed in full fidelity.
