The Album Collection, Vol. 1: 1973–1984

This release is comprised of remastered editions of the first seven albums recorded and released by Bruce Springsteen for Columbia Records between 1973 and 1984. The seven albums are recreations of their original packaging and are accompanied by a 60-page book featuring rarely-seen photos, memorabilia and original press clippings from Springsteen's first decade as a recording artist. 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.

Discs in the box are packaged in sleeves that, for the most part, replicate the original LP packaging in detail, including inner sleeves, wraparound gatefolds ("Born to Run"), separate lyric inserts ("Born in the U.S.A.") and special cover treatments (the fold-out postcard on "Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J.").
