Recording

From deep in the MMaRchives, comes a long-lost recording of Bruce Springsteen, live on the air at WMMR studios at 19th & Walnut on Rittenhouse Square… playing songs of his choosing and filling in the MMR audience of his next moves. The 10 inch reel to reel recording was found by current MMR creative services director, Kevin Gunn, who's a huge Springsteen fan. He gently badgered the MMR engineering department to repair an old reel to reel tape machine back to serviceable order to dub the recording from analog tape to digital form and ready it for playback on April 7, 2022.
