Born in the U.S.A. is the seventh studio album by American rock singer-songwriter Bruce Springsteen, released on June 4, 1984. A critical and commercial triumph, it found Springsteen marking a departure in his sound. While its predecessor, the dark and acoustic "Nebraska", featured songs of pessimism and isolation, "Born in the U.S.A."'s lyrics expressed signs of hope in the daily fight of the standard American in following the American Dream, a new feeling complemented by synthesized arrangements and a pop-flavored, radio-oriented sound that helped Springsteen to extend his popularity and appeal to mainstream audiences. Offered here is a high quality pressing of Born in the U.S.A., nicely hand signed by "The Boss" himself along the cover in blue felt tip marker. Well preserved and in overall fine condition. The autograph is so superb, it has been graded a stunning GEM MINT 10 by Beckett Authentication Services and is accompanied by a full Letter of Grading and Authenticity from BAS.
