Hi,I have this one (Columbia PC 31309) and although I have to admit I haven't listened to it in a while, I cannot recall it sounding less than very good. Maybe you do have a bad pressing. Now on Springsteen's second album “The Wild, the Innocent, and the E Street Shuffle” my original Columbia pressing had all sorts of weird striations or something pressed into the vinyl - almost like it wasn't pressed enough or something. I no longer consider this a part of my collection so don’t have its cat. no. available. Anyway the point is that I found a Dutch pressing that is absolutely KILLER. It's CBS 65780. If you spot one of these, pay the asking price, it is worth it.
Follow Ups:
My Dutch pressing is S 65480. Haven't played it in a while, Springsteen records are not demonstration material but i remember it being listenable.
Hi,Well my copy is certainly listenable. Seriously, this may be the best sounding LP in my entire collection. I agree that Springsteen's albums don't necessarily sound so good, but that's because he was an early adopter of digital recording. Too bad. It began with "Born to Run," I think. Anyway, I was caught off guard by the truly demonstration quality of the sound of this LP. Who knows, though, maybe it just likes my DENON/RB-250/Clearaudio setup. The V. Wood is a KILLER cartridge for rock.
My copy is Columbia KC 31903 and sounds very good to my ears.
Its spinning now.
