Greatest Hits (Bruce Springsteen)
''Greatest Hits'' is the first compilation album by American singer-songwriter Bruce Springsteen, released February 27, 1995, on Columbia Records. It is a collection of some of Springsteen's hit singles and popular album tracks through the years along with four new songs at the end, mostly recorded with the E Street Band in 1995.

"Murder Incorporated" and "This Hard Land" were, in fact, unused 1982 songs from the ''Born in the U.S.A.'' sessions, with the latter being re-recorded here more than a decade later, and both subsequently became Springsteen concert staples. "Blood Brothers", on the other hand, was played only as the final closing song of both the 1999–2000 Reunion Tour and 2002–2003 ...
