Celebrate the 50th anniversary of Bruce Springsteen's masterpiece of American rock 'n' roll with this handsomely produced and stunningly illustrated volume.

Bruce Springsteen and Born to Run: 50 Years is the definitive story of a landmark album in American rock music. In 1975, Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band released what would become their breakthrough album and arguably the most lauded album of Springsteen's long, illustrious career. Born to Run has sold over 9 million copies and counting and continues to inspire musicians and music fans young and old from around the world.

In this book, music journalist Sean Egan takes a deep dive into one of the legendary musician's most famous albums on its 50th anniversary. Chapters cover Springsteen's career prior to 1975, track-by-track analyses of each side, the studios where it was recorded, the supporting tour, and The Boss's career after the LP. Illustrated with performance and off-stage photography as well as memorabilia, the book is presented as a slipcased hardcover.

Springsteen fans new and old can expect:

  • A deep dive into how the album came together and why it is regarded as a masterpiece
  • Track-by-track analyses of the studio cut as well as insight into the many disregarded tracks and ideas leading up to its recording
  • Historical insight and analysis about the state of rock in the mid-'70s and how Springsteen assembled a wildly talented group of musicians in the E Street Band
  • The story of the battle between Springsteen and Columbia Records after his previous albums failed to ignite the public's passion
  • And much, much more

This display-worthy book is a must for every Bruce Tramp's collection.

The Great Albums series presents authoritative explorations of rock's most revered records, beautifully packaged for fans to treasure. Delve into even more groundbreaking releases with: Pink Floyd and The Dark Side of the Moon, The Who & Quadrophenia, Prince and Purple Rain, and Queen & A Night at the Opera, with more to come.
