Sancious overdubbed instrumental tracks and background vocals onto recordings, and experimented with different mixes. Contributions were made by non-band members Suki Lahav (background choir vocals), Richard Blackwell (congas, percussion) and Albee Tellone (baritone sax). Four is the actual number, there are no June log entries for "4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)", "Incident on 57th Street" and "Rosalita (Come Out Tonight)". In a late 1970s interview in Thunder Road magazine, Sancious verified that most of the session songs had already been recorded by the time he joined.
On June 28, David Sancious re-joined the not-yet-known-as-the-E-Street-Band, and contributed overdubs and mixing help to tracks already recorded. According to Craig Statham in Springsteen - Saint in the City, " The recording went on for four months, with a total of 50 days and nights of studio work".Īccording to known studio logs, sessions began in earnest at 914 Sound Studios on Friday, Jto record the base tracks, but the final live performance before this was on June 15, so sessions may have begun the following week, or much earlier in May. Though only two sessions are on record, Bruce did not perform between May 13 and 23. Marathon sessions were held around the clock, Springsteen said in Born To Run that he and Clarence pitched a tent outside the studio and slept there for days while working on overdubs. Studio time at 914 Sound was slotted in during breaks in touring, and often took place after midnight, when the owners were not around. However, there are indications of a lot of missing recording information from 914 Sound Studios between June 1972 and March 1975. Recording sessions for The Wild, The Innocent & The E Street Shuffle (WIESS) are thought to have begun in mid-May 1973, but so far, records for only two songs have been found from that time, "Circus Song" and "The Fever". It should be noted that these two sessions were not part of sessions for Springsteen's second album. "Tokyo" was played live with the band in April 1973, while "Vibes Man" would later become the coda to "New York City Serenade", after Bruce combined it with another song from early 1973, "New York Song". Previously thought to date from mid-1972, both seem to fit the E Street Band rather better than the solo songs Springsteen was composing in 1972. This is unconfirmed, but stylistically and chronologically speaking the recordings of "Tokyo" and "Vibes Man" are the only ones that fit the timeline. No audio from September-December 1972 has ever emerged, but publishing demo recording sessions were held at 914 Sound Studio, Blauvelt, NY on January 29-30, 1973 (where takes of "Saga Of the Architect Angel", "Ballad Of A Self-Loading Pistol", "Janey Needs A Shooter", "Winter Song", and "I Met Her At A Tourist Trap In Tijuana" were made) and February 19-20, 1973, where "Song For Orphans" was recorded, and probably "Tokyo" and "Vibes Man". Springsteen continued composing new material after the sessions ended, and was allegedly supplied with a reel-to-reel recorder by Mike Appel and/or Jim Cretecos to make home demos on his own.
Despite positive critical response, it sold 22,000 copies. was commercially released on January 5, 1973. Following the completion of the debut LP sessions on October 26, 1972, Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J.
