From 1975 through 1982, Springfield was signed to managers Tom Skeeter and Jonas Gottfried, and their Carman Productions imprint, to produce and deliver his albums for distribution When Rick signed with Carman he was re-launching a career that had already enjoyed a #1 Hit at home in Australia.This album, Rick Springfield: The Early Sound City Sessions was the next album to be recorded in 1977 and 78 under the Carman banner. The songs and the performances showcased Rick s yet unfulfilled promise and has remained in the vaults until now.

Customer Reviews

'70s Rick
Fabulous CD. A good example of Rick Springfield's early work, as he intended it. Lots of great harmonies and screamin' guitars. A nice introduction into Rick's '70s work, which is lesser known than his '80s hits. You can see the progression of a wonderful songwriter. I recommend this CD for both novices and die hard fans alike.

Don't judge by it's cover
Clearly, there was some legal precedent for not using a real photo of Rick on this cd. The music inside is decent enough... Must have for Rick fanatics. The rest of the world doesn't really care, I'm fairly certain.

Finally!
I haven't actually heard this whole album yet, but, I had to write a review because of the song "Bruce" I have been looking for this song for several years because I heard it in the early 1980's on a radio station in Philadelphia that played it. I actually taped the song from the radio station, and I still have it on tape to this very day. The version that was played on the station is not the same version that is on the album, though, it's a bit more rock oriented than this version. I am a big fan of Mr Springfield, having seem him in concert 2 times.
