Julia Boyd and her book about “ Third Reich travellers” were good company on my Deutsche Bahn trains across Germany, heading for Berlin.

The overall theme of the album was similar to that of The E Street Shuffle Springsteen was describing, and saying farewell to, a romanticized teenage street life. Layers of guitar, layers of echo on the vocals, lots of keyboards, thunderous drums - Born to Run had a big sound, and Springsteen wrote big songs to match it. The result was a full, highly produced sound that contained elements of Phil Spector's melodramatic work of the 1960s. Springsteen's backup band had changed, with his two virtuoso players, keyboardist David Sancious and drummer Vini Lopez, replaced by the professional but less flashy Roy Bittan and Max Weinberg.
