It was make or break time for Bruce when his third album was released; fortunately, he delivered an album that established him as the voice of a generation and one of the strongest acts in American rock and roll. Born To Run joined together Bruces evocative lyrical gifts, grandiose arrangements that recalled Phil Spectors Wall of Sound, and the shaggy jam-band prowess of his live ensemble, The E Street Band (now featuring the talents of additional pianist Roy Bittan, drummer Max Weinberg and Springsteens longtime musical partner Steven Van Zandt).

The result: an album that almost immediately became a Top 5 smash, earning Springsteen cover stories in Time and Newsweek in the same week and resting atop scores of greatest-albums-of-all-time-lists, from Rolling Stone to VH1.

In November 2014, Columbia Records/ Legacy Recordings released Bruce
Springsteen: The Album Collection Vol. 1 1973-1984, a boxed set comprised
of remastered editions of the first seven albums recorded and released by
Bruce Springsteen for Columbia Records between 1973 and 1984.
Now these 7 titles are available individually on CD, and feature artwork true to
the original packaging.

Acclaimed engineer Bob Ludwig, working with Springsteen and longtime
engineer Toby Scott, has remastered these albums, all newly transferred from
the original analogue masters using the Plangent Process playback system
