Yeah I remember seeing him playing for Bournemouth on the left wing with Harry Redknapp on the right wing. He was a seriously rapid winger. He died very young. The rumour was he was doing a bit of horizontal jogging at the time.
I got his first 3 albums in a box set sometime in the early 1980’s. I’d never been a fan before then but that box set converted me. The two you mention plus “ Born To Run “ .I’ve got to be honest, they are the only Springsteen albums I bought but I can reccomend them.
