Springsteen Bruce: Max"'s Kansas City 1973

140 gram black vinyl. To call Bruce Springsteen a regular performer there during his early days would be an understatement; indeed, he played a staggering 17 shows at the venue in 1973 alone. This release contains one such occasion captured on 31st January that year. Having just released his debut, Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J., Columbia Records had arranged a simultaneous radio broadcast to help promote the album. Featuring a host of early favourites, including "'Does This Bus Go To 82nd Street?"' and "'Spirit In The Night"' - along with several primitive versions of songs that would later appear on his sophomore record, The Wild, The Innocent & The E Street Shuffle, plus a number of other rarities - this collection is a fascinating artefact of the roots of one of rock music"'s most enduring talents.
