    so 51 minutes of music needs to be on 2 records? Not sure I understand why.

      So it seems if your the die hard Springsteen fan then this is maybe a step too far for you
      The 'Western Stars’ author has felt impelled to reassure fans that he’ll be back recording and touring with the E Street Band later this year. It’s hard to miss the hint of “normal service will be resumed as soon as possible”
      With hints of Glen Campbell’s collaborations with Jimmy Webb or Harry Nilsson
      In my opinion this album with its beautiful  orchestrations and swooning backing vocals will sell very well and will probably be one of Springsteens best selling albums on vinyl
