Live in the Promised Land: The Boss Is Back! (boxed edition of 450 copies)

~ Release by Bruce Springsteen (see all versions of this release, 66 available)

Annotation

An infinite number of version and repressings are circulating, but the very first to be put out were 450 numbered copies in a box with b/w yellow filtered insert subtitled ‘THE BOSS IS BACK!’. Pay attention to the records inside: they must have the skeleton label and BS2978 matrix, otherwise you’re looking at a cheap repress or repackage. Also watch out for over‐450 numbering, which is not a good clue.
Numbering is 4 digits long.
