So check this out. I’m not sure that Cleveland indie retailers realized what a hot item the Bruce Springsteen 7″ Record Store Day single would be. I was one of the first people in the door at Music Saves, made a beeline straight for the S section of their RSD exclusives, and any copies that they had, were already gone!
I visited several other Clevo locations, and made a few additional phone calls. Nobody had it.
If anybody out there reading this happened to grab an extra copy, drop me a line – I’d be interested in getting a copy for my collection.
Thanks!!
P.S. – My pal Layla has a review of the second night in Los Angeles, a show that featured Jay Weinberg on a few tunes, and guest Mike Ness of Social Distortion. Check out my previous post re: Bruce/Ness here.
Hi Matt!
Thres a bunch on Ebay if you haven’t already looked. BTW: The Thin Lizzy was at my door when I got home yesterday. Thank you!

If I had picked one up I’d be happy to give it to you. Thanks for the mention!
Thin Lizzy was at Craigs door? That must have been great, a personal concert 😉
Craig, I’m hoping not to get raked over the coals financially for a copy. Bruce fans are awesome, and I figured it was possible that one of ’em might have an extra.
Layla – I wasn’t there, but I heard that Thin Lizzy rocked on that doorstep.
Is there really only 2500 copies? I’ll keep looking, but my chances are slim, I also have no intention of buying off Ebay as well.
Wouldn’t ya know it, it looks like my good buddy Brian picked up one for me. Helluva guy, that Brian is. Visit his smashing website.

P.S. – Craig, I think it is really 2500 copies, yes.
I got ya covered homie! I get side A, you get side B.
And all I want is you B-side me. Awwww. Okay, I feel sick now.
I am happy you got one! I’m going to have to work on my record store day networking for next year!
Hi, I am from Cleveland, Love Bruce, have for over 30 years, having same problem finding the 7″vinyl. I wont pay what e-bayers want, just trying to rip people off.If by chance anbody picked up an extra one to sell, Please let me know .Thanks , Debbie
