Springfield, still a musician at heart, used his sudden TV fame to give his first profession a much-needed shot in the arm. In 1981, Springfield, under contract with RCA, released the album Working Class Dog. While Springfield’s TV celebrity acted as a springboard for his musical revival, the mega-hit off the album, “Jessie’s Girl”, cemented him as a legitimate pop rocker.

Tramadol 50Mg Buy Online Since we’re talking about Working Class Dog, you’re probably guessing that there is a rare, early CD worthy of discussion. Of course, there is. Let’s take a look at the original U.S. issue.

click here RCA released Working Class Dog on CD in the early ’80s. The U.S. issue was assigned catalog number PCD13697. The catalog number itself indicates that Working Class Dog was an early RCA release. RCA used the PCD1 prefix for rock and pop titles in the U.S. for several years, but by the mid-’80s, catalog numbers took on the form PCD1-####. Note the hyphen separating the PCD1 prefix and the four-number suffix. The earliest U.S. RCA titles, including Working Class Dog, lacked the hyphen.

You may be thinking that is not so significant since Denon pressings are ubiquitous among early CDs. We always speak of early pressings here, but the significance in this case is how early. A few years ago, we examined what we called “Early” and “Standard” Japanese Denon pressings of Cat Stevens Tea for the Tillerman (click here for details). The variations noted for Tea for the Tillerman also exist for Working Class Dog. We focus on the Early Denon pressing for the Springfield album below.
