Overview

Best Of is a collection of original songs, celebrating the music of Bruce Springsteen, spanning his storied 50-year recording career, from 1973's Greetings from Asbury Park, NJ to 2020's Letter To You. Best Of is available on April 19, and comes in physical formats as an 18-track set across 2 LPs or 1 CD, but also digitally as an expanded 31-song package. The collection will span early-career favorites like "Growin' Up" and "Rosalita (Come Out Tonight)," staples of Springsteen's live shows from "Dancing In The Dark" to "The Rising," best-selling breakouts like "Born To Run" and "Hungry Heart," as well as recent releases "Hello Sunshine" and "Letter To You." Here, these career-spanning works appear together in one set for the first time. Best Of Bruce Springsteen album cover is shot by Eric Meola during the Born To Run sessions, and has new liner notes by Erik Flannigan.
