This week, Bruce Springsteen's album Born to Run gets the box-set treatment, in a special edition marking the record's 30th anniversary. The three-disc set includes a remastered version of the seminal album that created legions of Springsteen fans with its title track and songs like" Thunder Road" and "Backstreets."

After Born to Run was released in 1975, the record became a lasting sensation; it is now considered one of the greatest albums in rock and roll history. The new box set also includes a concert DVD of previously unreleased video of a 1975 concert from London, along with a documentary about the making of Born to Run.

Combine an intelligent interviewer with a roster of guests that, according to the Chicago Tribune, would be prized by any talk-show host, and you're bound to get an interesting conversation. Fresh Air interviews, though, are in a category by themselves, distinguished by the unique approach of host and executive producer Terry Gross. "A remarkable blend of empathy and warmth, genuine curiosity and sharp intelligence," says the San Francisco Chronicle.
