VIA PRESS RELEASE | Sony Music will commemorate the 40th anniversary of Bruce Springsteen’s history-making Born In The U.S.A. on 14th June with a special-edition release featuring new coloured vinyl and expanded packaging.
Available on translucent red vinyl, this anniversary edition of Born In The U.S.A. will feature a gatefold sleeve and exclusive booklet with archival material from the era, new liner notes penned by Erik Flannigan and a four-colour lithograph.
Released on 4th June 1984, Born In The U.S.A. had an unprecedented seven Top Ten singles, sold over 20 million copies to date and captured the pop culture zeitgeist with once-in-a-generation impact. Springsteen and The E Street Band’s accompanying Born In The U.S.A. tour included 156 sold-out performances across the globe, while tracks like “Dancing In The Dark,” “No Surrender,” and “Glory Days” remain staples of their live show to this day.
Forty years after the Born In The U.S.A. tour kicked off in the summer of 1984, Springsteen and The E Street Band started the European leg of their 2024 run last weekend in Cardiff, garnering five star reviews in The Times, Daily Telegraph, The Sun and Mail on Sunday. The tour follows a triumphant run across the continent last year, which sold 1.6 million tickets and was praised as among the best of the band’s career.
The 40th anniversary release for Born In The U.S.A. follows Sony Music’s career-spanning Best Of Bruce Springsteen collection, which is now available as an 18-track set across 2 LPs or 1 CD and digitally as an expanded 31- song package.
