Stereo/Mono promo copy. Credited to Manfred Mann's Earth Band. This is a very interesting release --not only because it's such a fantastic cover of the Springsteen song --but because of the group's history of releasing it. After having a #1 hit in 1977 with another Springsteen song ("Blinded By The Light") from his first album (Greetings from Asbury Park), the group recorded a new version of "Spirit in the Night," with a different lead vocalist, and that is this one we have here. This version managed to graze the Top 40, peaking at... #40 that Spring. This first release has a specially edited version of the 6:26 album cut. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Warner/Reprise factory sleeve.
