Born to Run, published by Simon & Schuster (a division of CBS Corporation), will be released internationally on Sept. 27. “Chapter and Verse,” the companion album to Springsteen’s autobiography, will be released Sept. 23 on Columbia Records. The compilation album features 18 tracks, including five that are previously unreleased.
