Description
PURCHASED AT THE "EMPLOYEE STORE" AT THE CBS PITMAN N.J. PLANT UPON RELEASE- THIS IS A FIRST PRESS of "THE RIVER" by BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN. THEY PUT A LARGE CUT CORNER TO DISCOURAGE EMPLOYEES FROM BUYING AT A DISCOUNT AND RETURNING SOMEWHERE LOCALLY AT FULL PRICE. I WAS TOLD THEY PAID "ONE DOLLAR" FOR MOST RELEASES. I INQUIRED ABOUT THE STICKER ON THE BACK FOR $14.99 AND WAS TOLD THAT COPIES WERE OFTEN PRE-PRICED FOR SOME OF THERE LARGER RETAILERS. WHEN THEY HAD EXCESS THEY WERE CUT and SOLD IN THE "EMPLOYEE STORE". THE IMPORTANT THING HERE IS THAT WITHIN A FEW MONTHS OF RELEASE, 2 MORE SONGS CHARTED FOR BRUCE and THE PROMO STICKER WAS CHANGED TO INCLUDE "CADILLAC RANCH" and "FADE AWAY". ONLY THE FIRST RUN HAD THE ROUND "HUNGRY HEART" STICKER.
