"It is a magnificent album that pays off on every bet ever placed on him--and it should crack his future wide open." - "Rolling Stone," on the 1975 release of Bruce Springsteen's album "Born To Run."Photographer Eric Meola was hired thirty years ago to do a photo shoot which resulted in the iconic rock n' roll album "Born to Run." This magnificent book recreates that photography session, contains all of Bruce's lyrics, and includes an introduction by distinguished popular music writer Daniel Wolff.Bruce Springsteen is one of the most important songwriters and performers of the last three decades. "Born to Run" is the album that put Bruce Springsteen on the cover of both "Newsweek" and "Time." It is a timeless snapshot of Americana--all sweaty, high energy, and tuned to a carnival-like level. For many critics of the day, "Born to Run" made Springsteen the most important artist of his generation. It was this album that Springsteen's songs first portrayed a glorious yet very real side of the American Dream.In this book, Eric Meola shares the photographic alternates and outtakes, most for the very first time, in stunning black- and-white quadratones, more than thirty years after the album's release. In addition to the many never-before -seen photographs, here for the first time and in one place are all of the lyrics from this iconic American album.The Limited Edition features: 1,350 numbered copies, clamshell box, and signed photograph
