'''''Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J.''''' is the debut [[studio album]] by the American singer-songwriter [[Bruce Springsteen]]. It was produced from June through October 1972 by [[Mike Appel]] and Jim Cretecos at the budget-priced [[914 Sound Studios]]. The album was released January 5, 1973, by [[Columbia Records]] to average sales but a positive critical reception.

''Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J.'' first charted in the United Kingdom on June 15, 1985, in the wake of Springsteen's ''[[Born in the U.S.A.]]'' tour arriving in Britain; it remained in the top 100 for ten weeks.<ref name="ReferenceA">''[[British Hit Singles & Albums|The Guinness Book of British Hit Albums]],'' 1996</ref> In 2003, the album was ranked at No. 379 in ''[[Rolling Stone]]''{{'}}s "[[Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time|500 Greatest Albums of All Time]]" list<ref name=RS500/> and in 2013 the same magazine listed ''Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J.'' as one of the "100 Greatest Debut Albums of All Time".<ref>{{Cite magazine|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/lists/the-100-greatest-debut-albums-of-all-time-20130322/greetings-from-asbury-park-n-j-19691231|title = 100 Best Debut Albums of All Time|magazine = [[Rolling Stone]]|date = 13 October 2013}}</ref> On November 22, 2009, the album was played in its entirety for the first time by Bruce Springsteen and the [[E Street Band]], at the [[KeyBank Center|HSBC Arena]] in [[Buffalo, New York]], to celebrate the last show of the [[Working on a Dream Tour|''Working on a Dream'' tour]].<ref>{{cite web |work=nj.com |date=November 15, 2009 |first=Stan |last=Goldstein |title=Bruce Springsteen to play the entire 'Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J.' album in Buffalo |url=http://www.nj.com/springsteen/index.ssf/2009/11/bruce_springsteen_to_play_the.html |access-date=16 November 2009 }}</ref>

==Recording==
Springsteen and his first manager [[Mike Appel]] recorded the album at the low-priced, out-of-the-way [[914 Sound Studios]] to save as much as possible of the [[Columbia Records]] advance, and cut most of the songs during the last week of June 1972.<ref name=StonePony>{{cite web|url=http://www.stoneponylondon.net/albums/gfapnj.htm |title=Greetings from Asbury Park, NJ |publisher=Stoneponylondon.net |date=1973-01-05 |access-date=2014-01-25}}</ref><ref name="Penguin Group USA Inc">{{cite book |last1=Heylin |first1=Clinton |title=Springsteen Song by Song A Critical Look |date=2012 |publisher=Penguin Group (USA) Inc. |location=New York |pages=8–13 |url=https://www.penguin.com/ |access-date=27 March 2020}}</ref>

There was a dispute not long after the record was recorded—Appel and [[John H. Hammond|John Hammond]] preferred the solo tracks, while Springsteen preferred the band songs. As such, a compromise was reached—the album was to feature five songs with the band ("For You", "Growin' Up", "Does This Bus Stop at 82nd Street?", "It's Hard to be a Saint in the City", and "Lost in the Flood") and five solo songs ("Mary Queen of Arkansas", "The Angel", "Jazz Musician", "Arabian Nights" and "Visitation at Fort Horn").<ref>{{cite book|last1=Gaar|first1=Gillian G.|title=Boss: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band – The Illustrated History|date=2016|publisher=Voyageur Press|location=Minneapolis|isbn=978-0-7603-4972-4|page=36}}</ref>

However, when Columbia Records president [[Clive Davis]] heard the album submitted on August 10, 1972, he felt that it lacked a potential hit single, and rejected it. Springsteen quickly wrote "[[Blinded by the Light]]" and "[[Spirit in the Night]]",<ref name="cbs">{{cite web|url=http://wcbsfm.cbslocal.com/2013/01/07/happy-40th-bruce-springsteens-greetings-from-asbury-park-new-jersey/ |title=Happy 40th: Bruce Springsteen's 'Greetings From Asbury Park, New Jersey' |publisher=CBS |date=1973-07-05 |access-date=2014-01-25|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161008213754/http://wcbsfm.cbslocal.com/2013/01/07/happy-40th-bruce-springsteens-greetings-from-asbury-park-new-jersey/|archive-date=October 8, 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref> and recorded both on September 11, 1972. Because pianist [[David Sancious]] and bassist [[Garry Tallent]] were unavailable, a four-man band was used—[[Vini Lopez]] on drums, [[Harold Wheeler (musician)|Harold Wheeler]] on piano, Springsteen on guitar, piano (on Spirit in the Night only), and bass, and the previously missing [[Clarence Clemons]] on saxophone.<ref name=AlbumCover>{{cite web|url=https://devinylhunter-records.de/cdn/shop/files/Scannen10_cb917a20-7708-4e0f-941c-991186ae66d8.jpg?v=1696711742&width=823|title=Inside Album Cover to 'Greetings From Asbury Park, New Jersey'}}</ref> Columbia accepted the revised album, and Davis was personally pleased with Springsteen's response.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Carlin |first1=Peter Ames |title=Bruce! |date=2013 |publisher=Simon & Schuster |location=London, United Kingdom |isbn=978-1471112348 |pages=38–56 |url=https://www.simonandschuster.com |access-date=27 March 2020}}</ref>

Reviewing for ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' in July 1973, [[Lester Bangs]] hailed Springsteen as a daring new artist who sets himself apart from his contemporaries with songwriting that either has a serious meaning or showcases his uninhibited gift for verbose, overloaded lyrics and rhyme schemes. "Some of [his words] can mean something socially or otherwise", Bangs said, "but there's plenty of 'em that don't even pretend to, reveling in the joy of utter crass showoff talent run amuck and totally out of control".<ref name=RS1973>{{cite news|newspaper=[[Rolling Stone]] |issue=138 |date=July 5, 1973 |first=Lester |last=Bangs |author-link=Lester Bangs |title=Bruce Springsteen ''Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J.'' > Album Review |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/albumreviews/greetings-from-asbury-park-nj-19730705 |access-date=20 March 2004 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080620004208/http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/brucespringsteen/albums/album/107193/review/5943460/greetings_from_asbury_park_nj |archive-date=June 20, 2008 }}</ref> [[Peter Knobler]] wrote in ''[[Crawdaddy (magazine)|Crawdaddy]]'' that "he sings with a freshness and urgency I haven't heard since I was rocked by '[[Like a Rolling Stone]]' ... the album rocks, then glides, then rocks again.

In ''[[AllMusic|All Music Guide to Rock]]'' (2002), William Ruhlmann gave ''Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J.'' five stars and said that it combined the mid-1960s [[folk rock]] music of Bob Dylan, accessible melodies, and elaborate arrangements and lyrics: "''Asbury Park'' painted a portrait of teenagers cocksure of themselves, yet bowled over by their discovery of the world. It was saved from pretentiousness (if not preciousness) by its sense of humor and by the careful eye for detail ... that kept even the most high-flown language rooted."<ref>{{cite book|last=Ruhlmann|first=William|chapter=Bruce Springsteen|page=1062|title=All Music Guide to Rock: The Definitive Guide to Rock, Pop, and Soul|edition=3rd|editor1-last=Bogdanov|editor1-first=Vladimir|editor2-last=Woodstra|editor2-first=Chris|editor3-last=Erlewine|editor3-first=Stephen Thomas|editor3-link=Stephen Thomas Erlewine|year=2002|publisher=[[Backbeat Books]]|isbn=087930653X}}</ref> In 2003, the album was ranked number 379 on ''[[Rolling Stone]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s list of [[Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time|the 500 greatest albums of all time]].<ref name=RS500>{{cite book |chapter=379 &#124; Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J. – Bruce Springsteen |chapter-url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/lists/500-greatest-albums-of-all-time-19691231/greetings-from-asbury-park-n-j-bruce-springsteen-19691231 |last=Levy |first=Joe |author2=Steven Van Zandt |title=[[Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time]] |orig-year=2005 |edition=3rd |year=2006 |publisher=Turnaround |location=London |isbn=1-932958-61-4 |oclc=70672814 |ref=RS500 |access-date=2017-08-29 |archive-date=2012-05-27 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120527061137/http://www.rollingstone.com/music/lists/500-greatest-albums-of-all-time-19691231/greetings-from-asbury-park-n-j-bruce-springsteen-19691231 |url-status=dead }}</ref> They ranked it 37th on their list of greatest debut albums.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/lists/the-100-greatest-debut-albums-of-all-time-20130322/greetings-from-asbury-park-n-j-19691231|title=The 100 Best Debut Albums of All Time|access-date=2013-04-08|magazine=[[Rolling Stone]]}}</ref>
