The Essential Bruce Springsteen: Limited Edition 3.0

~ Release by Bruce Springsteen (see all versions of this release, 30 available)

Annotation

A 2009 reissue. Large brown/black back obi covering the digipak’s entire rear side features liner notes and tracklistings in Japanese; otherwise packaging is widely identical to the US/Australian versions Thanks to Lost In The Flood site..

This edition is presented in Digisleeve format in the form of a quadriptych, inside a plastic sleeve in which there is an oval label with a text in Japanese. Contains 3 CDs and a 44‐page color booklet with lyrics and photos from different eras of Bruce Springsteen with the E‐street Band.
As a curiosity in the Japanese edition, unlike the European one, on the back cover Bruce Springsteen’s presentation brief is in Japanese, in addition the numbering of the pages begins at number 1 on the next to the back cover. Therefore there is an offset of 2 numbers on the same pages of the 2 booklets (European and Japanese version).
There is also a 40‐page black and white booklet with the Japanese song list and lyrics.
