Producers: Jon Landau, Chuck Plotkin, Bruce Springsteen, Steve Van Zandt • Engineers: Toby Scott, Bob Clearmountain

Thumbnail for article: Classic Tracks | Bruce Springsteen ‘Born In The USA’

Seven top 10 singles isn’t bad going for a career, let alone one album, yet that’s precisely what Bruce Springsteen achieved with his smash hit 1984 LP, Born In The USA. This is the story of how it was made...

Classic Tracks: Joan Jett ‘I Love Rock & Roll’

Producers: Ritchie Cordell, Kenny Laguna, Glen Kolotkin • Engineer: Glen Kolotkin

Thumbnail for article: Classic Tracks: Joan Jett ‘I Love Rock & Roll’

Joan Jett’s heartfelt reworking of the Arrows’ ‘I Love Rock & Roll’ became an international hit in 1982 and turned her career around. Glen Kolotkin tells us how it happened.

Classic Tracks: New York Dolls ‘Personality Crisis’

Producer: Todd Rundgren • Engineer: Jack Douglas

Thumbnail for article: Classic Tracks: New York Dolls ‘Personality Crisis’

The fact that they achieved little commercial success didn’t stop the New York Dolls from making one of the most influential albums in the history of pop music.

Classic Tracks | REM ‘Radio Free Europe’

Producers: REM, Mitch Easter, Don Dixon

REM’s first single wasn’t just an embryonic form of the style and sound that would later make them so successful, it was also a gem of the American new wave. But it took a long time coming...

Classic Tracks: Donna Summer ‘I Feel Love’

Producers: Giorgio Moroder, Pete Bellotte • Engineer: Juergen Koppers

Thumbnail for article: Classic Tracks: Donna Summer ‘I Feel Love’

The pioneering electronica of ‘I Feel Love’ didn’t just revolutionise disco, it changed dance music forever. This is the story of how it was made...

Classic Tracks | The Kinks ‘You Really Got Me’

Producer & Engineer: Shel Talmy

Thumbnail for article: Classic Tracks | The Kinks ‘You Really Got Me’

There are very few records whose influence can be so strongly felt after 45 years as the Kinks’ ‘You Really Got Me’. At the controls was Shel Talmy, who tells us the story of a song that changed pop music.

Classic Tracks: The Moody Blues ‘Nights In White Satin’

Producer: Tony Clarke • Engineer: Derek Varnals

Thumbnail for article: Classic Tracks: The Moody Blues ‘Nights In White Satin’
