The seller wasn’t revealed. Sotheby’s said the document had been in the collection of Springsteen’s former manager, Mike Appel.
Sotheby’s says most of the lines in this 1974 version are apparently unpublished and unrecorded. However, the manuscript does include “a nearly perfected chorus.”
It’s written in blue ink, on an 8 1/2-by-11-inch sheet of ruled notepaper.
The document will be part of a Manhattan sale of fine books and manuscripts. It was written in Long Branch, N.J.
