Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band – Tunnel of Love (1987 Columbia Records)
Signed by Bruce Springsteen, Max Weinberg, Nils Lofgren, and Garry Tallent
This is a four-signature copy of Bruce Springsteen’s landmark 1987 studio album “Tunnel of Love.” It features authentic autographs from:
-
Bruce Springsteen – front and center in vivid blue ink
-
Max Weinberg – longtime E Street Band drummer, upper right in black ink
-
Nils Lofgren – guitarist and multi-instrumentalist, mid-right in black ink
-
Garry Tallent – founding bassist of the E Street Band, bottom right in black ink
Signed copies featuring multiple E Street Band members are exceedingly scarce, particularly from this era, as Springsteen was transitioning into a more introspective and solo-driven phase of his career.
Released on October 9, 1987, “Tunnel of Love” marked a tonal departure from the stadium-rock optimism of Born in the U.S.A. (1984). Written, produced, and largely performed by Springsteen himself (with selective contributions from the E Street Band), it delves deeply into the complexities of love, self-doubt, and emotional distance.
Notable Tracks:
-
Brilliant Disguise – a haunting reflection on honesty and intimacy
-
One Step Up – a melancholic meditation on faltering relationships
-
Tougher Than the Rest – a resilient, understated anthem
-
Tunnel of Love – a blend of pop sophistication and lyrical vulnerability
The album won the 1988 Grammy Award for Best Rock Vocal Performance, Male and is consistently cited among Springsteen’s finest works.

This multi-signed Tunnel of Love LP represents not just an essential Springsteen era, but the enduring artistry of the E Street Band. Collectors regard it as one of the most desirable ensemble-signed pieces from the late ’80s, especially given the album’s emotional depth and limited group appearances during that period.
