Harmonicas and handwritten lyrics by Bruce Springsteen up for auction

Harmonicas and handwritten lyrics by Bruce Springsteen will be auctioned off on October 28. As for the lyrics, this sale hosted by Bonhams will thrill Boss aficionados since it is the lyrics of Thunder Road, Night and For You.

For the first, these are the four pages of notebooks on which the artist wrote the song as it can be heard on Born To Run, his 1975 album. However, it should be noted that the last page shows two alternative versions of the first verse, as the NME points out. Still, this piece of musical history is estimated at between $ 50,000 and $ 70,000, while the lyrics of Night and For You, also written in a notebook, shouldn’t have a hard time hitting $ 30,000.
