My copy of this record sounds big and loud--just as The Boss intended, I'm sure! The reason I rated it 4 stars instead of 5 is because there was a little bit of squeaking over the first two tracks, but aside from that, a very excellent pressing!
-
So I just came across a copy that has the P for Pittman and Masterdisk RL markings in the runout for Side A. It is as follows.
P 0 PAL-38653-3AM (Upside Down 5) Masterdisk RL
Side B matches perfectly to Variant 1 Side B of this release.
(T-D) P 0 PBL-38653 G2W -
Unsure of the specifics on this version, but it certainly didn't match other entries for Pitman pressings. If anyone knows anything about it, love to hear it. -
Famous, but not his best work in my opinion. Still it has several standout tracks - "I'm On Fire", "Downbound Train", "Glory Days", "My Hometown", and "Dancing In The Dark" . Mix is a little thin and strident to my ears, Most tracks need more bottom end, ironic since the Boss' bottom is so prominently displayed on the cover.
