Newly Remastered. Only springsteen could have got away with releasing a double album with 19 tracks of what was basically the same song. such was his standing that he did, and it worked like a dream. almost all the tracks hit you in the stomach, with burning saxophone from clarence clemons and piercing wurlitzer organ. bruce, meanwhile, sings of cars and girls and girls and cars, but at no stage does he forget that this is rock 'n' roll. with this release springsteen completed a rite of passage. described as the "new dylan" early in his career, the singer proved this tag a fallacy, drawing on dansette pop - phil spector, gary us bonds, mitch ryder - rather than the folk tradition. the singer articulated the dilemmas of america's blue-collar workforce, encapsulating a generation trapped in a post-60s malaise. he does so with sumptuous melodies which draw in, rather than confront, the listener and show springsteen not just as a magnetic showman, but as a pensive, literate songwriter
