COLUMBIA RECORDS TO RELEASE HISTORIC 'BORN TO RUN 30TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION' ON 
NOVEMBER 15


BOX SET WILL INCLUDE THREE SEPARATE DISCS INCLUDING A STUNNING DVD OF THE 
LEGENDARY 1975 HAMMERSMITH ODEON CONCERT; A DVD OF "WINGS FOR WHEELS: THE MAKING 
OF BORN TO RUN," WITH NEVER BEFORE SEEN ARCHIVAL FOOTAGE AND NEW INTERVIEWS WITH 
ALL THE BAND MEMBERS AND MANY OTHERS; AND A CD OF THE BRILLIANTLY REMASTERED 
'BORN TO RUN'
Columbia Records will release the 'Born To Run 30th Anniversary Edition' box set 
on November 15. Personally supervised by Bruce Springsteen and Jon Landau, the 
box set includes "Hammersmith Odeon, London '75," an astonishing film of Bruce 
Springsteen and the E Street Band's legendary 1975 concert at the Hammersmith 
Odeon in London; the new film "Wings For Wheels: The Making of Born To Run;" the 
classic album in remastered CD form; and finally, a 48 page booklet of 
previously unpublished photographs. With its two DVDs, the package offers 
approximately four hours of previously unseen footage.
"I believe that the combination of the great 1975 concert footage, the brilliant 
documentary of the making of the album and the dazzling remastering of 'Born to 
Run' add up to a nearly perfect storm of Bruce's music," said longtime manager 
Jon Landau.
Spanning roughly two hours and ten minutes, the November 18, 1975 concert at 
London's Hammersmith Odeon finds an epic performance of sixteen Bruce 
Springsteen and the E Street Band classics, including "Thunder Road," "Tenth 
Avenue Freeze Out," "Jungleland," and "Born To Run," as well as such other 
favorites such as "Kitty's Back" and "Rosalita." The multiple-camera film of the 
complete concert will be available in its entirety and its original sequence, as 
newly edited by Emmy Award Winner Thom Zimny. "Hammersmith Odeon, London '75" is 
the only full-length concert film ever released of Bruce and the E Street Band's 
first 25 years.
Zimny's production team painstakingly cleaned the original negatives and 
digitally restored the footage, ultimately presenting this indispensable concert 
in vibrant color and detail. Producer Bob Clearmountain remastered and remixed 
the DVD in both stereo and 5.1 surround sound. Zimny has worked with Springsteen 
on several projects, including editing the Emmy-winning "Live in New York," the 
quadruple-platinum certified, Emmy-nominated "Live in Barcelona" and the "VH1 
Storytellers" films. Clearmountain is the legendary mixer who has often 
collaborated with Springsteen over the last twenty- five years, most famously on 
'Born in the USA.'
The ninety-minute documentary "Wings For Wheels: The Making of Born To Run" 
chronicles the definitive story of the creation of 'Born To Run,' from 
songwriting to production and beyond. "Wings For Wheels" boasts archival film 
never shown publicly, including substantial footage of Springsteen and the E 
Street Band recording the album, 1975 concert film and other footage shot 
between 1973 and 1975. The film also features exclusive footage of Springsteen 
playing solo piano and guitar versions of songs from 'Born To Run.'
In addition, "Wings For Wheels" incorporates newly filmed interviews with Bruce 
Springsteen and the E Street Band, including former members who played on the 
album, as well as the production team. In newly shot footage from Asbury Park, 
NJ, Springsteen discusses his personal feelings about the making of the iconic 
album in great depth; the footage with Springsteen includes the musician 
reflecting on outtakes and unreleased tracks from the album for the first time 
since 1975. The DVD of "Wings For Wheels: The Making of Born to Run" ends with 
stunning bonus footage of three songs recorded live at Los Angeles' Ahmanson 
Theater in 1973: "Spirit In The Night," "Wild Billy's Circus Story" and " 
Thundercrack."
Finally, the box set will feature a CD of the newly remastered 'Born To Run,' as 
well as a remarkable 48-page photo album of previously unpublished photographs 
with an introduction written by Springsteen. This is the first time Springsteen 
has allowed any of his catalogue to be fully remastered and he enlisted his 
longtime mastering guru Bob Ludwig to handle the job. The newly remastered 
version presents the masterpiece with striking clarity and presence. Widely 
regarded as one of the cornerstone albums in rock and roll history, 'Born To 
Run' has been recognized by many international polls as one of the greatest 
albums of all time. It has sold nearly nine million albums worldwide. Of 'Born 
To Run,' which was originally released August 25, 1975, Rolling Stone wrote, "It 
is a magnificent album that pays off on every bet ever placed on him-and it 
should crack his future wide open."
