Born to Run

American singer-songwriter Bruce Springsteen's third studio album, Born to Run, was released on August 25, 1975, by Columbia Records. The album was a commercial success as his attempt to become more well-known, reaching at number three on the Billboard 200 and ultimately selling six million copies in the United States. Born to Run and Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out, the album's two singles, were the first to help Springsteen gain widespread acclaim. The songs "Thunder Road," "She's the One," and "Jungleland" became mainstays of album-focused rock radio and highlights of Springsteen performances.

On its debut, Born to Run received a lot of positive reviews. Since then, critics have regarded it as one of the best albums of all time. On November 14, 2005, a box set containing two DVDs—a production diary film and a concert movie—along with a 30th Anniversary remaster of the record was made available.

For inclusion in The Album Collection Vol. 1 1973-1984, a boxed set made up of remastered renditions of Springsteen's first seven albums, the album was once again remastered in 2014 by experienced mastering engineer Bob Ludwig, who has worked on a large portion of his audio output since 1982. Later, it was also made available as a single DVD in remastered form.
