Notes

This four-track, live EP was released to benefit the Amnesty International Human Rights Now! Tour. Springsteen announced his involvement in the tour during a show in Stockholm, just prior to the band’s performance of Bob Dylan’s “Chimes of Freedom,” as featured on the EP. Other tracks were selected from earlier tour stops in Detroit and Los Angeles.

In the original vinyl and cassette release, all tracks were at full length, while on compact disc (CD) "Chimes of Freedom" and "Tougher Than The Rest" were edited for length. The format used was the three-inch CD single, which limited the length that could be used. On some of the full size five-inch CD releases, the edited versions remained. Other releases have restored it to full length, although in some cases the artwork still shows the edited track times.

      Generally have found you can’t go wrong with anything “live” by Springsteen. This album sounds great and makes you feel like you are right in the middle of the stadium crowds. Only thing that would make it better would be more songs.

        Sadly this is 27 minutes of absolute tedium. Obviously scaped the bowl for these perfs so that they could be charitable, yikes. Good sound, though. Phase inversion. At least the jewel case is in tact.

          Wonderful Acoustic Versions of „Born to Run“ and „Tougher than the rest“!

            Solid Bruce EP that's actually harder to find than what they're being sold for--even this repressing. Soon to be rare item

              Hey nice to see that my comment on April 4 , 2019 may have resulted in a change of the title.

                I was wondering if there is any confusion over what the mini CD is titled ? When I loaded it into my i tunes it came up as Chimes Of Freedom [Live] [EP]. That also appears to be the name on the CD packaging since it is listed right under his name and is bigger and bolder face font . With those 2 things in mind why then is it listed as Tougher Than the Rest (Live) ?
                Just so we are clear catalog number 44K-44445-S1, barcode 0 7464-44445-2 .

                  This release comes with no art work , no adapter just the long sleeve it comes in and a reclosable plastic envelop casing . Good thing is almost all horizontal tray type CD players not older than 2007 with a spindle or built into the tray ,will play these 3 inch mini CD's.
                  I am biased but "The Boss" is great and even better live. I love these 4 songs though I do think Springsteen is best when he rocks out so the slow acoustic version of Born to Run , in my eyes, doesn't compare to the studio hard driving version on the groundbreaking Born To Run album. His cover of the Bob Dylan classic "Chimes of Freedom" is, however, masterful.
                  I have dozens of these all in mint condition shrink wrapped in the sleeve just like in the picture . Any interest in bulk buying me.
