This limited‐edition box set comprises of remastered editions of Bruce Springsteen’s first seven albums. The seven records are recreations of their original packaging and the set is accompanied by a 60‐page book. The discs were pressed at MPO in France.

A box set comprising the first eleven years of Bruce Springsteen’s career, all seven albums on eight discs (The River is a double album). All albums are remastered for vinyl for the first time ever, transferred from the original analogue masters using the Plangent Process playback system. Packed in a box with a leather‐like finish. The box set also includes a 60‐page book filled with rare photos, press clippings and other memorabilia. All albums are packed in replicas of original sleeves.

Nebraska’s tracklisting is wonky. The back cover of the album just lists all ten tracks. Labels (and the sheet on the box) say that A‐side has six tracks and B‐side has four. There are actually five tracks on both sides. I made the track listing based on the real amount of tracks on each side.

US version that doesn’t have the “Sony Music” logo, adds “OS1” to the catalog number and also has a FBI anti piracy logo
