While a Springsteen «hits» collection logically would contain such Top Ten singles as «I’m on Fire» and his cover of Edwin Starr’s «War,» few Springsteen fans would miss their omission; on the other hand, many would support the inclusion of «Blinded by the Light» and «Pink Cadillac,» Top Ten hits for Manfred Mann’s Earth Band and Natalie Cole; and anyone even remotely familiar with Springsteen’s albums and concerts would have trouble countenancing the absence of such non-singles as «Rosalita (Come Out Tonight)» and «Thunder Road.» Facing this challenge, Springsteen has adopted his own set of criteria. First, he seems to have wanted to pack as much music onto a single disc as possible, the result being a CD-busting 76:47 running time. Second, he seems to have wanted to include as many tracks as possible, even if that means editing songs; as a result, 18 tracks are included, though five have been substantially shortened — «My Hometown» (by 24 seconds), «Glory Days» (by 29 seconds), «Human Touch» (by 82 seconds), «Better Days» (by 23 seconds), and «Streets of Philadelphia» (by 60 seconds). Third, like many artists, he is more interested in including his recent material than his older material, so there is nothing from Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J. or The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle — no «Blinded by the Light,» …
