message: This article reference's Springsteen's official website when referring to the release date, which is fair, as it's a primary source that should be reliable. However, there seem to be discrepancies in other sources that point to this not being the correct date. I wanted to start a section of the talk page before doing any editing, to see if this has already been resolved at some point in the past. 
First, the September 11 release date, combined with the recording period of "May - September 1973" places the release date unbelievably close to the recording sessions, and doesn't seem to account for mixing, mastering, album artwork production, actual album manufacturing, etc. I find it hard to believe that recording could be completed, and the album could make it to shelves less than two weeks later.
What actually caused me to truly question this purported release date are two sources: the Brucebase website, and Peter Ames Carlin's 2012 biography Bruce. Brucebase is a fan-run website, containing detailed information on both Springsteen's live history and the recording sessions for each studio album. Brucebase corroborates the reports that the recording sessions stretched into September, indicating that they ran as late as September 25, which is two weeks past the purported release date. Brucebase also gives a release date of November 5.
Now, I know that Brucebase is not a reliable source, because the website is comprised entirely of original research that cannot be verified independently. However, that's where the second source, the Carlin biography, comes into play. In chapter 10 - page 162 of the hardcover edition - Carlin states that the recording sessions began in mid-May and were "squeezed into dayslong increments through late September," which lines up with Brucebase's dates. The book gives a release date on page 166, though, interestingly, it's November 11, not November 5.
I think these two sources are enough to indicate that the September 11 date is incorrect - however, I'm a little unsure about November 5 or 11, as November 5 was a Monday, and November 11 a Sunday, neither of which have traditionally been album release days. (September 11 is a Tuesday, which makes sense) Because of this confusion, I didn't want to change the release date, because I'm honestly not sure what it should be. November 11 comes from a more trustworthy source based on Wikipedia's standards, but I'm unsure about it given it's a Sunday. Mostly, I want to know what other editors think of this discrepancy and what can be done about it, if anything. Hello2112 (talk) 22:58, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
