Bruce Springsteen - Don't Say No (V1) - Studio Take, The Record Plant, NYC (November, 1977)

Описание: “Don’t Say No” is a song written by Bruce Springsteen and recorded during the Darkness On The Edge Of Town sessions.

There are two versions of this outtake in circulation. The first one (V1) has “Don’t say no” repeated in the chorus, and therefore it is known under the title “Don’t Say No”. The second one has “I wanna be wild” repeated in the chorus, and therefore it is known under the title “I Wanna Be With You” (V2). They are practically the same song and they share the same music, but have alternate work-in-progress lyrics.

It is not clear from which period they were recorded, but they probably emanate from The Record Plant. Both songs suffer from weak sound quality (vocals very low in the mix), which makes the lyrics unintelligible. According to Brucebase, a take of this song with the title “I Want To Be Wild” was recorded at The Record Plant on 11 Nov 1977.
