Bruce Springsteen Born To Run RARE Aussie only 3:10 version

Bruce Springsteen “Born To Run” [3:10 edited version] appears on Various Artists “Super Sound” LP (orig. Australia STEREO K-tel TA 254—1976, 20 tracks)

Recorded: 6 August 1974 ~ release date: April 1976.

On offer here is an original issue of the VARIOUS ARTISTS K-tel/CBS compilation album entitled “Super Sound”.  THIS LP INCLUDES THE HIGHLY COLLECTABLE AND COMPLETELY EXCLUSIVE 3:10 EDITED VERSION OF “BORN TO RUN”.  ONE OF THE MIDDLE VERSES AND A SAX SOLO HAVE BEEN EDITED OUT OF THE ORIGINAL 4:30 ALBUM RECORDING.

Do not miss the opportunity to acquire this AUSTRALIAN-ONLY BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN RARITY!  There are also 19 other recordings (!) including eight by Australian performers (RENEE GEYER BAND, DOUG PARKINSON, STYLUS, MARCIA HINES et al.)  The majority of these compilation tracks were issued as 45s in Australia between August 1975 and February 1976.

Extra info: This particular version of “BORN TO RUN” is 3 minutes and 10 seconds duration, and definitely NOT 3:20 or 3:40 as I have seen quoted elsewhere.  Just thought you should know!
