The work that rocketed the Jersey Shore favorite to international acclaim. Here is The Boss singing and playing his personal soundtrack of the loves and pain of his America. Just as his lyrics proclaim being "sprung from cages," Springsteen was sprung from local phenom into his own "American Dream." The album, initially released on August 25, 1975, featured, in addition to the iconic title track, such future rock classics as: Thunder Road, Backstreets, Tenth Avenue Freezeout, She's The One, and Jungleland. Platinum disk is mounted against a gray background, with a platinum cassette and the RIAA plaque with the album's cover of Bruce and "Mr. C." The plaque reads, "Presented to White Owl Entertainment to commemorate RIAA certified 4,000,000 copies of the Columbia album, cassette and C.D. 'Born To Run.'" Framed, 17x21".
