History
Springsteen began working on this album after the tour around his previous album, The Wild, The Innocent & The E Street Shuffle . This album came out in 1973 . It took over 14 months to make Born to Run, which only six months before the title song. During this period, Springsteen had to deal with frustration over the album. He reportedly heard "noises that others in the studio did not hear." Springsteen finally called on Jon Landau to help with the production. This was the beginning of the end of the Springsteen collaboration with producer and manager Mike Appel .

When the album came out once, Born to Run was a big breakthrough hit. It catapulted Springsteen from a local musician to a national and international star.
