Bruce Springsteen / Born in the USA – Japanese 4CD deluxe

Sony Music in Japan are celebrating the 40th anniversary of Bruce Springsteen’s 1984 album Born in the USA as a special 4CD deluxe edition unavailable anywhere else!

The 4CD set features the original album on CD 1 (the 2014 remastering) and the a full live show at the Giants Stadium, East Rutherford, New Jersey on 22 August 1985, on the three bonus CDs.

The classic Live 1975–85 album featured a couple of Born in the USA songs from 19 and 21 August 1985 Giants Stadium shows but none from 22 August, and while this whole show has technically been available as a download and on CD-R via the ‘Live Bruce Springsteen’ Official Live Archive Series, this is the first time it’s been released ‘properly’ on CD anywhere in the world.

The four CDs are actually ‘Blu-spec CD2’ discs but rest assured these are fully compatible with standard CD players. This release is presented as a deluxe seven-inch Features cardboard with a photo book and a booklet (see image above).

his Japan-only Born in the USA 40th anniversary 4CD set will be released on 25 September 2024 via Sony Music Japan.
