Springsteen's 'Born to Run' gets 30th anniversary treatment
Columbia Records has set a Nov. 15 release date for a three-disc, 30th anniversary edition of "Born to Run," Bruce Springsteen 's landmark 1975 album.
The box set--the production of which was supervised by Springsteen and his longtime manager, Jon Landau--features a newly remastered CD of the "Born to Run" album.
Highlighting the package is the concert DVD "Hammersmith Odeon, London '75," which captures a storied Springsteen and the E Street Band performance at the venue. Though pieces of the concert have turned up in various forms over the years, the DVD features all 16 songs played at the show in sequence. Film from multiple cameras was pieced together by Thom Zinny and his team, who cleaned the original negatives and digitally restored the footage. Zinny won an Emmy for his work on Springsteen's "Live in New York" TV special. Producer Bob Clearmountain, who has a long history with Springsteen, remastered and remixed the DVD in both stereo and 5.1 surround sound.
A third disc contains the 90-minute documentary "Wings for Wheels: The Making of 'Born To Run.'" The film features some previously unreleased archival material, including "substantial footage" of Springsteen and the E Street Band recording the album, and exclusive footage of Springsteen playing solo-piano and guitar versions of tracks from "Born to Run," according to a press release. The documentary also includes newly filmed interviews with Springsteen and current and former E Street Band members about the recording of the album.
Rounding out the set is a 48-page booklet of previously unpublished photographs.
