yes. It was a double A side with My Hometown back in December 1985.
Got the Live 1975-85 box set for Christmas the following year. 5 records!

Is this the same Alan Remorse from The Punk/Hardcore forums?

deffo recommended...the album, as you probably know is peerless and the two dvds are very very interesting and entertaining.

Got it.
The remaster is nice, beats my beat-up 20 year old LP anyway.
Just watched some of the concert DVD - pretty fantastic.

yeah, the album is magniffo, but not in my top 3 BS albums, top 5 maybe... it gets a bit hard on the ears after a while i find, as its so full all the time. deadly though. its the extras im more interested in, they sound cool.

it was only after i got the boxset that i realised how much I liked the album... I only had it on vinyl and for some reason I never thought it was that brilliant.... until recently. What Springsteen albums do you have above it? Nebraska obviously... River, Darkness.... anything else?

Darkness On The Edge Of Town is my favourite.

The Wild, The Innocent And The E-Street Shuffle, Born To Run, Nebraska and Tunnel Of Love [used to think meh until around 2/3 years ago] would be up there.

i tend to think tunnel of love is my favorite even though its a bit vonda shepard in parts. i love it and listen to it most probably... other contenders are darkness, nebraska, tom joad, born to run.. the order might be a bit up and down. i dont particularly like the river - any one song is fine but the overall effect is disheartening, and human touch and luck town are at the bottom of my stack.

i havent got that live 75-85 set... or the mtv unplugged thing.

i havent got that live 75-85 set...

If for no other reason then the versions of "It's Hard To Be a Saint In The City" and "Spirit In The Night" that's on it get it.
