BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN 10-LP Box Set ALL THOSE YEARS RARE

$

265

Up for auction is the extremely rare, legendary, highly sought-after and fabulous 1985  Import from Holland's Heart and Soul Records (SR 111-1102), 10-LP Box Set, long out-of-print and almost impossible to find for sale anywhere, at any price, described by the Bruce Springsteen Collector's Guide as:

"the most complete Springsteen set ever made",

and by others as a

"mammoth 10 disc set that puts to shame the officially released live box set"

featuring 

 BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN

and The E Street Band

entitled

ALL THOSE YEARS

 This box set spans over a decade of performing and recording:  live songs, outtakes, and even rehearsals, from 1971 to 1982, on ten LPs, each in its own custom All Those Years plastic-lined record sleeve.

Also included is a full-color LP-size 22 page booklet, example pages of which has been photographed, annotating all of the songs on all 10 records, with the these titles and themes:

 1971 "Steel Mill"

1972-1973 "New York Serenade"

1974 "Sparks Fly On E Street"

1974 "Bound For Glory"

1975 "A Star Was Born"

1976 "Still Running"

1977 "Soul Crusader"

1978-1979 "Man At Last"

1980-1981 "Into The Promised Land"

1981-1982 "Jersey Nights"

This is a super high-quality box set, representing without any doubt the apogee, the pinnacle, the peak, the la creme de la creme of Springsteen collectibles!

 The very commercial-looking box shows minor wear, with corners reinforced, as the photos depict, and the booklet is very minutely and slightly stained on one corner, but the LPs themselves are in MINT condition.

This is a rare, super-cool, and extraordinarily  valuable Bruce Springsteen collectible, which I have saved until the very end of my rare Bruce LP listings. 

This would make a great and unique Christmas gift for the Bruce collector or fan on your shopping list who thinks he or she has everything! 

The LPs have been played once, and one-time only, in order to tape the music onto a high-quality cassette.  The LPs were then re-placed into their custom sleeves to preserve every precious note, and they have remained there undisturbed for almost two decades!

The Songs are: 

Oh Mama Why?

Change it (Revolution)

Dancing in the street

Honky tonk woman

I can't take it no more

Song to the orphans

Zero and blind Terry

You mean so much to me

Come on over to my place

Around and around

Lucille

On the prowl

Twist and shout

From small things big things come

This LP SET is a single-owner item, purchased new years ago and carefully stored under controlled conditions since.  No wonder it looks (and more importantly sounds) so good!  

Benefit from my compulsive pack-ratting habits!

Low opening bid, and best of all, no reserve.

I am a long-time music lover/collector, quickly running out of storage space in a non-smoking home. Over the years, I’ve accumulated quality LPs, tapes and CDs of the highest quality.   The time is overdue to find some of them loving new homes.

I’m not trying to squeeze every last dollar out of them, as demonstrated by the low opening price and lack of a reserve, and when they’re gone, they’re gone!

LPs, Tapes and CDs will be carefully packaged and shipped. LPs all have new protective Polypro jacket covers, and will be shipped in stiff and safe corrugated cardboard LP boxes designed for just that purpose, although this one will be shipped, safely cushioned, in an oversized shipping box.  After all, what good is it to preserve something for years, and then subject it to damage in the shipping process? Ordinarily, shipping by USPS, media rate, which keeps the costs down.

For this item, which weighs a whopping 6 pounds when properly packaged in a sturdy oversized shipping box, assume about $40 shipping, Air Parcel Post, insured, to the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Brazil, and Mexico, and most other similar destinations.

I prefer Paypal, and I am willing to absorb the commission to make the purchase experience as painless for the buyer as possible.  Money orders and checks are also acceptable, but will necessitate a wait on delivery until payment confirmation.  Payment in US dollars only, please, and for non-US bidders, Paypal only, and e-mail me after the auction so that we can jointly determine the fair cost of your preferred shipping method.

Satisfaction guaranteed!  Returns within 14 days of purchase. If the item does not match the rating and description, full refund and all shipping costs will be refunded without a peep.  If you must return an item for any other reason, I will refund the purchase price and original shipping costs, with the purchaser to bear only the cost and responsibility of getting the item back to me in the condition in which it was shipped.

Thanks for checking out this listing.
