Ultra-thin lettering was used on the mass produced version, which at the time was unheard of, and something of a design classic. It wasn't unheard of for Springsteen. His previous album, The Wild, The Innocent..., also had ultra thin lettering on the cover. --Diamonddog13 18:57, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Clarence Clemons question

I just saw the PBS special on the "Born to Run" concert in England in 1975. In one song near the end I heard what sounded like a very long soprano saxophone note (though they didn't show the player). Does this mean that Clarence Clemons plays the soprano sax in addition to the tenor (with which he's usually associated)? If this is true, I'll need to add this info in several places on Wikipedia. Thanks if anyone knows the answer to this. Badagnani 05:28, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Most Sax players can, don't know for sure but I'd guess it is Clarence

[edit] Album Cover

Ultra-thin lettering was used on the mass produced version, which at the time was unheard of, and something of a design classic. It wasn't unprecedented for Springsteen. His previous album, The Wild..., also had ultra-thin lettering on the cover. --Diamonddog13 19:00, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

    • Sorry man, I created the text about the album cover. I hear you, but to be true the thin lettering on the cover was the first time on an album to reach a mass audience, like the iPod was the first time Apple's ultra- sleek designs reached a mass audience.
