I do load this one if:
I'm interested in LP transfers or if I want to complete my collection. There is probably nothing on you haven't heart yet. This one goes out to the nostalgic.


Story:
There was a little record store I regulary visited in the 90s. One day, while buying a River LP (wich I only bought to get it signed; and Bruce and the Band did some years later) the guy from the store told me that he has a special Springteen item in his counter. This was one of my first outtake sources and it is still a special item to me. Today, however, there is nothing special on this record. 


Appearance:
The front cover of this release is printed in a hight quality (latex like) glossy finish wich looks and feels awesome. The label is a real metallic-silver sticker and not preprinted. The LP itself is made of a clear substratum. The tracklist on the back (A left, B right) invents "Walk On" as a new title for "Cynthia" and mistakes "Drop on Down (And Cover Me)" with "Cyntia".


Transfer:
I did the best I can. My AIWA turntable may not be top notch, but neither the record is. There are quite some problems on the record, especially with volume fluctuations (most noticeable on "Cynthia"). I did three complete transfers (wet and dry playback) and revisited an old transfer, wich I did some 15 years ago. I used the best of this four and didn't do any remastering, as I don't have much experience on that topic. So all the problems are still exiting on this release. But don't get me wrong; as I love theese old releases I took quite some time in making this one available to you.


Quality:
You can find all of the songs in better quality elsewhere. "An Alternative Companion
" BITUSA outtakes by JEMS Archive

 is a superior release for example.


Artwork:
Complete set of front, back and sides included. As they don't fit on my scanner I shot pictures with a Canon EOS and a EF-50 1.8 II.
