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 the 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. The cover exhibits moderate handling wear and surface rubbing. Accompanied by a full Letter of Authenticity from Beckett Authentication Services (BAS).
