Bruce Springsteen
Bruce Springsteen was born as Bruce Frederick Joseph Springsteen on September 23, 1949 in Long Branche, America. His father was of Irish-Dutch descent and his mother of Italian descent. In the early years, Springsteen played in several bands, but was discovered in 1972 by John Hammond, who had previously discovered Bob Dylan. His first album, Greetings From Asbury Park, was released in January 1973 and was named after the seaside town of Asbury Park. His second album, The Wild, the Innocent, and the E Street Shuffle, was released in September 1973. His breakthrough came in 1975 with the album Born to Run. His nickname, which he is not really proud of, comes from the fact that in the 1960s, when he and his band still played in small clubs, he had to ask the organizers for wages afterwards.

They can't say it any better. This is what MFSL can maximize. The One Step Plating Process removes two steps from the process from Lacquer to Vinyl. The effect is more dynamic and more detail compared to the normal 5-step process. Because a Stamper can only be used for a limited number of LPs and therefore several are needed, the process is more expensive than normal.
Does this pay off? I think so. This recording is wonderfully detailed, nice and dynamic and has a large stage that extends far behind the speakers.
