Product description

Bruce Springsteen's eleventh studio album, The Ghost of Tom Joad, is a sombre and startlingly hushed masterpiece that delves into the complexities of American society. Released on 21 November 1995 through Columbia Records, this primarily acoustic album is a narrative-driven exploration of poverty, immigration, and the struggles of Americans and Mexicans in the Southwest.

Inspired by his motorcycle trips through the mountains and deserts of California, Springsteen's songwriting is deeply personal and unflinching, tackling the dark realities of life with his characteristic candour. The album's title track, which shares its name with the album, is a powerful commentary on the complications of American capitalism, drawing inspiration from John Steinbeck's iconic character Tom Joad.

With its 12 tracks, including 'Straight Time', 'Highway 29', and 'Galveston Bay', The Ghost of Tom Joad is a striking and powerful work that, although it may not have reached the same audience as his earlier acoustic album Nebraska, is a testament to Springsteen's skill as a storyteller and his ability to craft music that is both deeply moving and thought-provoking. Clocking in at 49 minutes, this album is a must-listen for fans of folk rock and those who appreciate Springsteen's unique brand of socially conscious songwriting.

This is a 2018 Reissue released as a LP.

  • Hit or Miss Noise

    2 out of 5 stars
    awjmaewpubJanuary 6, 2026United States🇺🇸

    My unit is terrible, got noise from the surface all over and it don't stop. Seems like it's hit or miss.

  • Loving Warm and Quiet

    5 out of 5 stars
    kuvnrutkixoDecember 2, 2025United States🇺🇸

    I'm absolutely loving my version! It's so warm and snug, and it's completely quiet. I'm truly grateful.

  • Terrible Crackling Copy

    3 out of 5 stars
    jxayahomhpiNovember 21, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Absolutely terrible. Every track on my copy has awful crackling on both sides. I bought it sealed, and I'm so angry about this.

  • Fantastic Pressing, Must Have

    5 out of 5 stars
    qurreehfqjodvvAugust 10, 2025United States🇺🇸

    This pressing is absolutly fantastic. It's almost too good to be true. I'd definitly suggest getting a copy.

  • Poor Pressing Quality

    2 out of 5 stars
    ciliraz6yJune 24, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Terrible pressing quality. Brand new, still in its seal, and it's filled with clicks and pops. The first track on side one has this odd rhythmic thump during the initial few seconds. There are pieces of vinyl left uncut, hanging off the edge. Come on, GZ. The sound quality isn't the worst, but it's nowhere near what this masterpiece should sound like.
