Springsteen, Bruce - Cover me / Jersey girl (live) - CBS - 5 inch Mispress Picture Disc Shaped Variant 1st Issue - Rock 80s Vocal

Exceptionally rare 1st issue unblemished copy

Very scarce Leaping Bruce Springsteen figure Shape Picture Disc

+ folded thin card plinth

Variant 1st issue: 1st issue {October 1984} with incorrect speed [45 rpm] listed-blocked out-on Bruce's leg with correct (33rpm) speed.

This was not issued with a cover sticker though some people use the sticker from the 2nd issue and pretend that it came with a sticker. Not so.

Mispress: incorrect speed shown on back of leg

Exceptionally rare 1st issue unblemished copy without the 'tea staining' that many copies suffer from (in varying degrees)-especially the later 2nd pressing.

This release flopped and was re-released some months (March 85) later in an almost identical issue except that the correct speed (33rpm) only appears on the leg and early copies had a cover sticker.

See other listings for variations.

Formats:  5 inch Shape Picture Disc         Sound quality on 5" discs is not up to standard of 7" discs-the B side of this disc is particularly sub-standard so we do not advise buying it for its' Hi-Fi qualities-the vinyl is thin particularly on the B side which actually picks up the picture underneath (legs).

5" discs were made to make the overall figure picture discs (and others) a neater product but were eventually dropped because of the sound quality problems.

Strictly a fabulous display item though Cover me plays reasonably well in terms of Hi Fi quality.

These discs are unplayed except to test ability to start and finish.
