Why the image is boss.

Sonic Editions, Springsteen on stage, Hammersmith Odeon

You can find this print and many like it on Sonic Editions. Bruce before he was big. Before the sculpted shoulders of Born in the USA. This is 1975 when the very American performer was making his British debut at the Hammersmith Odeon. (A performance you can find on the Born to Run 30th Anniversary Edition.) It must have been something watching the songs of the just released Born to Run take form. Before they were the stuff of obligatory encores. That’s the beauty of photography. This image talks to the Hammersmith moment. It’s also a testament that Bruce wore such a hat.

Sonic Editions is a curator of limited edition rock ‘n’ roll photography. The selection is deep and the shots are quality from some of the most respected photographers in the game. Sonic Edtions also claims to have prices that allow the real fan get a limited edition print for a fair price. Now the prices we’ve seen range from $79 to $499, depending on the size and whether you want it framed or not. Considering the high end of the scale includes framing this is quite good. As a comparison, the asking for rare prints of the baby Beatles and Stones from the Bon Bonis Achive range from $175 to $625.

The source of the material on Sonic Editions may also sweeten the draw for some fans. You’ll find collections from NME and Uncut magazine.
