3. "Love On The Dole"
4. "Bucket Shop"

bruce springsteen - born in the USA 12"

I have always been a great fan of the Boss who has seen me through treenage years to the present time. This song could have been about Belfast "Born Down In A Dead Mans Down, The First Kick I Took Was When I Hit The Ground" etc etc etc [know what i mean]. This EP is very much a product of the 80's with its remix and dub version added to the original!



1.  Born In The U.S.A. (The Freedom Mix)  
2.  Born In The U.S.A. (Dub)
