What a "boss" box we have here, just in time to celebrate Bruce’s 65th birthday! "Born to Run" and "Darkness on the Edge of Town" were remastered for boxed-set release in recent years, but this new set does what’s been long overdue: gives a much-needed sonic upgrade to all his other albums through ’84 as well (they haven’t been remastered since they debuted on CD). All seven of these have been remastered for this set by Bob Ludwig (and if you opt for the LPs, you’ll be the proud owner of the first remastered vinyl of these albums): "Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J." (’73), "The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle" (’73), "Born to Run" (’75), "Darkness on the Edge of Town" (’78), "The River" (’80, 2 CDs), "Nebraska" (’82) and his mega-smash "Born in the U.S.A." (’84). The vinyl set features original LP packaging, and both sets include a 60-page book with rare photos, memorabilia, period press clippings and more. These are the unforgettable album tracks and enduring hits that introduced a singular new voice in American pop singing and songwriting (and, let’s not forget, the great E Street Band): "Blinded by the Light," "Growin’ Up," "It’s Hard to Be a Saint in the City," "Incident on 57th Street," "Rosalita (Come Out Tonight)," "4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)," "Thunder Road," "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out," "Born to Run," "Adam Raised a Cain," "Badlands," "Prove It All Night," "Hungry Heart," "The Ties That Bind," "Reason to Believe," "Open All Night," "Born in the U.S.A.," "Cover Me," "I’m on Fire," "Glory Days," "Dancing in the Dark," "My Hometown," "I’m Going Down" and more shouts, cries, songs and stories from Asbury Park, N.J.!
