"WARNING: This is not a box containing a remastered collection of tunes representing an overview of Springsteen's career. This three CD boxed set contains Springsteen INTERVIEWS. On the box it says, "This is a spoken word product and contains no original music by the artist. It is not authorized by the artist, his record company or management.""

Why are you making customers read between the lines here?

"Truth in advertising, guys ;-) as you well know, "boxed set" implies music, as does your introductory email outreach, 'as someone who has purchased Bruce's MUSIC in the past' etc. etc..



This "set" is a compilation of exceptional interviews with Bruce over the years a worthy effort on its own, with no need for confusing bait-and-switch marketing tactics.



Thanks

"My caption does not refer to the product but to the effort of Aamzon Marketing to fool its customers. Most Springsteen fans are quite knowledgable and know what is out there in terms of CDs, box sets and other compilation. Thats why, this one struck me as odd so I checked it out. As the other reviewers describe, it is "unauthorized spoken word" and not a CD Box Set of tracks. I hope times are not so tough at Amazon, that we will be subject to such venal marketing practices frequently."
