Rick Springfield

Rick Springfield's previously unreleased 1974 album for Columbia Records gets its first-ever release in a deluxe, expanded edition from Iconoclassic Records. Over the years, just three tracks from the gutsy, rock-and-roll-oriented Springfield have escaped the vault (including "American Girls").  Iconoclassic's world premiere of the complete album includes his previously unreleased 1974 performance at Post Falls, Idaho's Northwest Speedway as well as the "Streakin' Across the USA"/"Music to Streak By" single.  Everything has been mastered by Vic Anesini at Battery Studios, and the package is adorned with striking artwork by John Sellards.  Ken Sharp provides the liner notes in the 20-page booklet which is stuffed with photos and memorabilia from the era as well as track-by-track memories from Springfield and bandmates Katona and Leinheiser.
