Wikipedia Page of the Day, 1/5


The randomness of Wikipedia strikes again.

The first studio album by Bruce Springsteen, Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J. was released on this day, January 5th, back in 1973.

It sold roughly 25,000 copies in the first year of its release. Springsteen and his first manager Mike Appel decided to record the album at the low-priced, out-of-the-way 914 Sound Studios to save as much as possible of the Columbia Records advance and cut the record in a single week. The record includes "Blinded by the Light" and "Spirit in the Night", two of Springsteen's classic songs.
