2015 USA, Columbia Records. 2015 Record Store Day double 180 gram Vinyl LPLP - NEW AND SEALED RSD

Bruce Springsteen’s fifth studio album, The River, marked a turning point in his career—blending the raw, bar‑band energy of his early work with the more introspective storytelling that would come to define his best songs. Recorded with the E Street Band in late 1979 and early 1980, it’s a sprawling double‑LP that ranges from rollicking rockers like “Sherry Darling” and “Hungry Heart” to deeper character studies such as the title track’s bittersweet portrait of working‑class dreams. With its mix of joy and longing, The River cemented Springsteen’s reputation as a chronicler of everyday America, showcasing his gift for turning small moments into epic, emotionally charged anthems.

This re‑issue comes pressed on two heavy‑weight vinyl discs. Whether you spin it on a vintage turntable or in a modern hi‑fi setup, this 2LP set delivers the full power of Springsteen’s big‑hearted performances and the E Street Band’s signature punch—with every harmonica wail and saxophone flourish sounding more alive than ever.
