Pkoegz: I have all the first soundboard bootlegs of the 5 radio shows he did in 1978, superior to the albums Born to Run and Darkness. Wish he would allow them to be released as bootlegs. Also have a pristine master tape of the Ties That Bind, the single album from 1979 that was rejected by CBC, that lead to the Boss going back into the studio and releasing the River in 1980 as a double album with a hit, i.e. Hungry Heart. The first Binds lp has no compression in the mastering, and kills the official release.
Discussion on the Re-mastering of Springsteen?
I'm very surprised there is no discussion yet on an audiophile site, about the spectacular (in some cases) improvement of Springsteen's first 7 records (LPs and CDs), using the Plangent process. I've only compared a little bit so far (CD, but on a very high-end system,, e.g., Rockports, Jeff Rowland, tubed MW Oppo 105, etc), but I'm quite surprised - in a good way!
