The Album Collection, Vol. 1: 1973–1984

~ Release by Bruce Springsteen (see all versions of this release, 8 available)

Annotation

A box set comprising the first eleven years of Bruce Springsteen's career, all seven albums on eight discs (The River is a double album). All albums are remastered for vinyl for the first time ever, transferred from the original analogue masters using the Plangent Process playback system. Packed in a neat box with a leather-like finish. The box set also includes a 60-page book filled with rare photos, press clippings and other memorabilia. All albums are packed in replicas of original sleeves.

Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J.: KC 31903
The Wild, The Innocent, And The E Street Shuffle: KC 32432
Born To Run: PC 33795
Darkness On The Edge Of Town: JC 35318
The River: PC2 36854
Nebraska: QC 38358
Born In The U.S.A.: QC 38653

Nebraska's tracklisting is wonky. The back cover of the album just lists all ten tracks. Labels (and the sheet on the box) say that A-side has six tracks and B-side has four. There are actually five tracks on both sides.
