Released only eight months after his exhilarating debut, Bruce
Springsteen’s The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle contains
rousing dispatches from the boardwalk, the street, the beach,
and the bedroom. It explodes with energy, dares to dream, teases
with humor, crackles with tragedy, clings to hope, and overflows
with discovery, youthfulness, and personality. The songs feature
an unforgettable cast of characters illuminated by vivid color,
breathtaking detail, and poetic action. Musically, the heartfelt 1973
record is inhabited by cinematic arrangements steeped in rock
‘n’ roll, soul, jazz, and R&B. It finds the New Jersey native looking
beyond the parameters of his preceding record and seeking to move
on from environments he knows well by rushing headlong toward
unknown territories, adventures, and people. Underpinned by the
singer-guitarist’s ambitious poetic enterprise and will to succeed,
The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle is the album on which
Springsteen becomes the Boss.

Mastered on Mobile Fidelity’s renowned mastering system,
Mobile Fidelity’s numbered-edition hybrid SACD of Springsteen’s
sophomore effort plays with a clarity, energy, presence, and
openness that complement the expressiveness, dynamics, and
scope of the seven restless compositions on which the E Street
Band makes its debut. Everything from the separation between the
instruments to the natural decay of the notes and youthful candor of
Springsteen’s voice comes across in studio-like fashion. The work
that Rolling Stone ranked the 345th Greatest Album of All Time
deserves nothing less. A never-ending invitation to act real cool
and stay up all night, The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle
always feels alright.
