A lot of us have heard the amazing takes from Bruce and the band during the recording of the born to run album. In November 2005 the Born to Run 30th anniversary issue with extras is released. The outtakes which circulate on various bootlegs are amazing but I reckon we will not hear the amazing strings versions of Born to Run, Backstreets and Jungleland this time around. The acoustic studio version of Thunder Road is breathtaking and Christine's or Chrissy's dress waves instead of mary's dress in this particular version. You never know pehaps bruce may decide to release these songs in the alternate version in the future.

The song "Reno" from "Devils & Dust" has drawn a lot of attention in reviews. Apparently the spotlight got a little too hot for the brand handlers at Starbucks, who, according to a Newsweek report, are pulling out of a promotion that would have made the CD available at Starbucks stores nationwide.

Oddly, Wal-Mart hasn't backed away from the CD. On Wal-Mart's website, not only is the album available, but the actual verse with the explicit language is the site's "Reno" sample.
