The muscles, the bandana, the hits.
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band's landmark 1984 album, “Born in the U.S.A.,” will receive a special edition 40th anniversary release on red vinyl June 14 from Sony Music. The anniversary edition will include a gatefold sleeve and booklet with archival material from the era, new liner notes penned by Erik Flannigan, and a four-color lithograph.
“Born in the U.S.A.,” released June 4, 1984, presented themes of Springsteen’s work to that point in his career — community, friendship and patriotism — and framed them in a bigger, bolder and streamlined single album. The result was a generational album that produced seven hit singles and sold more than 25 million copies.
The “Born in the U.S.A.” tour started with a rehearsal show at the Stone Pony in Asbury Park and went across North America and to Australia, Japan and Europe before coming back to the states to play stadiums until October of 1985.
Springsteen and the E Street Band are currently on tour in Europe with their next show Sunday, May 12 in Kilkenny, Ireland.
