JUNGLELAND(ISRAEL 1982 LTD 100 COPIES 3-TRK PROMO 1-SIDED 12 UNIQUE PS)

Bruce Springsteen

-Bruce Springsteen: Jungleland,ULTRARARE! 1982 Israel-only promotional 1-sided vinyl 12” release on orange CBS-Acum lbl; limited to a reported 100 copies. Inc. even 'Hungry Heart' & 'Point Black'. Contains Bruce's "contributions" to the soundtrack for the highly obscure Israeli film “Kvish L’Lo Motzah” (a.k.a. “Dead End Street”), directed by a friend of former E Street Band violinist Suki Lahav (who apparently convinced Springsteen to give permission for the use of his songs). Unique black-and-white picture sleeve with a weird still from the movie and spectacular Hebrew type on front; "For Promotion Only - Not For Sale" sticker on rear. Record is one-sided, bearing an orange/yellow label, and marks the only appearance of "Jungleland" on an official single of any format. Pretty exact reprints of both the cover and label were openly up for sale on the collector’s market in late 1994, so “home-made” counterfeits may exist. However, apart from the blank B-side, genuine copies can clearly be identified by the matrix number DJ428A being hand-etched into the disc's run-off groove and a generally matt finish of the sleeve (as opposed to the glossy reprint), which has to feature title lettering in Hebrew on the spine.(CBS DJ 428)-€.1999.99
