Product Description

1975 album from New Jersey's finest. Born To Run was the album that created the legend and set the stage for massive international success. Features classic Boss tracks like 'Thunder Road', 'Badlands' and, of course, 'Born To Run'.

Amazon.com

Few albums are as fueled by hope, possibility, and the lure of the open road as Born to Run, a virtual concept album about small-town Jerseyites in search of a better life via hot-rodding out on the turnpike, scoring some small-time hustle, or blowing out of town altogether, either across the river to New York City or west for parts unknown. Songs like "Jungleland," "Thunder Road," "Backstreets," and the title track are epic productions, both sonically and lyrically, borrowing from Phil Spector, Bob Dylan, Elvis Presley, and West Side Story. When Born to Run was released in 1975, it earned then-unknown Springsteen the rare honor of simultaneous covers on both Time and Newsweek. The attention was warranted then, and it still is now. --Daniel Durchholz

180g vinyl from original source tapes = national treasure

December 30, 2015

Format: VinylVerified Purchase

To me, this is one of the greatest albums in American rock history. It is the soundtrack to so many of us who grew up in blue collar families, working on and racing muscle cars around, trying to impress the girls. Yet it's not an album of frivolous fun. It's poignant, dark at times, and even a little haunting. It's a beautiful masterpiece and if you are getting back into vinyl, it should be one of your first purchases. The sound on this remastered rerelease is beyond exceptional.

Still great after all these years

August 11, 2016

Format: Audio CDVerified Purchase

We recently started buying CDs of our favorite albums from the 1970s and 1980s. We import them into iTunes, then export them as high quality audio onto a thumb drive we carry in the car for road trips. A real bonus when you buy certain CDs from Amazon is that you can them stream them from your Amazon music account. Bruce Springsteen is still great after all these years, and it was great to bring this music back into our collection.

So Good I Ordered It Twice (Without Realizing It!)

March 22, 2017

Format: Audio CDVerified Purchase

This is such a good set. I ordered at the request of my wife (a serious Springsteen fan). We listened and watched and enjoyed the hell out of it. Imagine my surprise when, a few weeks later, we realized that we already owned it! I think it would be a fine idea if when you place an item in the checkout cart, Amazon would let you know that you already ordered it. In any case, one of these will make a fine gift.

This, and the 2005 CD remaster, make all other copies obsolete.

March 19, 2016

Format: VinylVerified Purchase

This is by far the best that this album has ever sounded. After I bought this, I went on Ebay and got the 2005 Born to Run CD box set sealed, very cheap. This 2013 vinyl remaster is better than the 2005 remastered CD. The remastered CD is still pretty good, though, and way better than my original first pressing vinyl, and the 1980 'Half Speed Mastered' vinyl, both in near mint condition, and both now unlistenable, in comparison.

"...They haunt this dusty beach road in the skeleton frames of burned-out Chevrolets..."

January 9, 2007

Format: Audio CDVerified Purchase

Having been an impressionable fifteen year old when BORN TO RUN first ran, it's hard, thirty two (!) years later to adequately measure the impact this album had. The changes it wrought in the young people who first heard it were very nearly on the cellular level (that's biology, not telephony, you 21st century yahoos!). The only reason that BORN TO RUN did not acquire near biblical status amongst my immediate peers was because Springsteen was a Jerseyite, not a Long Islander (that's "Lawn Guylander" to you, man), and while bopping back forties in the schoolyard at night and choking down red-pack Marlboros by the handful, we still managed to sneer a bit at "B.S.", that yokel from the swamplands that stretched "from the coastline to The City."

Of course, even the sneeringest, the most Billy Joelic, Good Ratsish, and Twisted Sisterite of us couldn't deny that Springsteen had created a work of aural cinematography with BORN TO RUN. Virtually every song is not only memorable but visceral in a way that rock albums have not been for so long since then. Sure, those New Jersey people obviously lived in hog pens and drank budget beer, but just like us, they dreamed of taking Dad's old Musclecar ("Hemipowered drones") on a 120 MPH rip down Route 80 toward the setting sun. Go West, young man. Go West.

And yet, there's more here than wish fulfillment. There's real depth. When Bruce sings of the "skeleton frames of burned-out Chevrolets," he unconsciously echoes Allen Ginsberg in 'Sunflower Sutra': "Jack Kerouac sat beside me on a busted rusty iron pipe. 'Look at the sunflower,' he said." Springsteen gave us our own flowering in the sun.

BORN TO RUN spoke so loudly and meaningfully because it spoke so universally. Trapped in seemingly dead-end suburban small towns (just within sight of the New York skyline, but oh, so far away) we wanted so desperately to run, we dreamed of hearing that long, mournful train whistle blow, we wanted Dylan's vision of the soul in BLOOD ON THE TRACKS, but we also wanted the brash unrestrained energy of Bruce S. on a hot, neon-encrusted night.

A Shaman with a guitar, he gave us visions: "...She dances across the porch as the radio plays." The blonde wore Wayfarers. Her name was Wendy. Or Mary. Or maybe it didn't matter as long as "her eyes shone like the Midnight Sun. She was the one."

Happy 40th birthday, "Born To Run" by "The Boss" Mr. Bruce Springsteen. It was released August 25,1975.
After 2 moderate selling albums "Greetings" #60 and "Innocent" #59, this record surprised everybody, the hooks and the anthems were everywhere. Led by the new E-Street Band, Roy Bittan, Clarence "Big Man" Clemons, Danny Federici,Gerry Tallent, Stevie Van Zandt and Max Weinberg, Bruce and the boys would have 8 songs that still get played in concerts today. With classic rockers like the hit title track #23, "Thunder Road", "She's the One", "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out" #83 and "Night", and the classic anthems "Jungleland" and "Backstreets". And the pensive ballad "Meeting Across The River". "Born to Run" hit #3 in the charts and they have never looked back. Saw Bruce perform the "Born To Run" album in St.Louis on his last tour, Awesome! Again Happy Birthday "Born To Run" 40 years old, today. One of rock's classic covers.

This particular version of Born To Run is actually the first Springsteen related thing I ever bought. I bought this last year, and I was really pleased with this release. I enjoyed the album itself, but I really enjoyed the concert movie that came with the set. The documentary was interesting as well, and I plan on watching it again. If you’re thinking of starting a Bruce Springsteen collection, I would say start with this.
