This cassette is NUMBER ONE of a 3 cassette set released by CBS back in 1986
The set of cassettes covered many of Bruce Springsteens concert performances between 1975 and 1985
I can only find this ONE cassette, not the complete set is being offered
This cassette offers performances from Bruce Springsteen which are "all over the shop" some even from before 1975 (Spirit In The Night) and then others such as Fire which he wrote in 1977 but actually did not release it commercially until 1985 - so although it might be thought that cassette one will have all the earlier songs, that's not really the case.
Plenty of loooong winded chat with the audiences throughout these recordings, particularly "Grown Up" which runs for almost 8 minutes

Cat# 5PC 704 CASSETTE ONE ONLY
Australian release
1986
Cassette packaging is in good condition
Before playing I repacked the tape, and visually inspected carefully the clamshell, rollers and head pressure pad - no issues with the shell or tape at all
This is a screw type clamshell so if ever it was required to "get inside" to relube, no issues with this tape
I have then played this tape entirely and there are no problems at all with no "drop outs" although I "feel" the top end is at times a bit lacking - I am not sure if this is because of the source recordings CBS used or tape wear. To my ears, this occasional "feeling" that the high end had dropped a little was not a serious issue but something just didn't sound quite right (to me).
