Discussion on the Re-mastering of Springsteen?

I'm very surprised there is no discussion yet on an audiophile site, about the spectacular (in some cases) improvement of Springsteen's first 7 records (LPs and CDs), using the Plangent process. I've only compared a little bit so far (CD, but on a very high-end system,, e.g., Rockports, Jeff Rowland, tubed MW Oppo 105, etc), but I'm quite surprised - in a good way!

Thanks! for sharing Jfz-

this set is on my radar as well. I will be buying the CD version. I was intrigued by this 'Plangent' process as well.
So long as protools was not used to destroy, I mean, "remaster" these discs!

Happy Listening!

bought the vinyl an amazing boxes set. A must have for a Springsteen fan. now I only have 15 different "Born to Run" pressings.
Bongofury, first two albums? "Greetings from Asbury park" and "The wild, the innocent and the E street shuffle" both amazing albums. Hooked the first time I heard in 72 and 73. love them. BUT "Born to Run" is the ultimate rock and roll album and his third! it is the album that all other rock stars try to equal but fall far short. then there is "Born in the USA" and "Darkness at the edge of town". both fantastic albums born in the usa the better but taken in comparison to all other bands untouchable. so please first two albums and Nebraska? everyone has a right to their own opinion but this is a joke? right?
