Digitally remastered by Bob Ludwig and Brian Lee (Gateway Mastering Studios, Portland, Maine).
This four-song live EP presents Springsteen in post-world-conquering mode. The Boss had already retreated from the grandeur of BORN IN THE U.S.A. with the more understated, personal TUNNEL OF LOVE. The aesthetic of the latter is represented by the opening cut "Tougher Than the Rest," a declaration of Bruce's willingness to put his nose to the relationship grindstone.
The debt to Bob Dylan that was owed since Bruce's very first album is paid off with this disc's centerpiece, a stately, passionate rendition of Dylan's "Chimes of Freedom," which gains in patriotic significance due its performance just before the 4th of July 1988. Conversely, the usually majestic "Born to Run" is presented here in a low-key, solo acoustic version that wouldn't have sounded out of place on NEBRASKA. With songs representative of the different periods in Springsteen's development, CHIMES OF FREEDOM is a snapshot that captures a vital and intriguing moment in the Boss's career.
Available again. Remastered from the original Canadian CD. This is a longer version than the first U.S. master and features the songs in their complete unedited form. Tracks 'TougherThan The Rest' (live), 'Be True' (live), 'Chimes Of Freedom' (live) and 'Born To Run' (live-acoustic). Originally released in 1988 in conjunction with the Amnesty International Tour.

Peace To The Fans!!! A must for any Bruce Springsteen fan. The fans will love it. Submitted by jejr9 (Irvine) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
Chimes Of Freedom review The four songs on this album is a brilliant example of the variety of moods Springsteens music contains.
The slow romantic live version of Tougher Than The Rest is the perfect anthem for a saturday night dance with someone you really love. Chimes Of Freedom carries the message of peace to the world in the same magnificent way the acoustic Born To Run sends a message of hope, freedom and dreams come true. These four songs makes you appreciate the Repeat button on your stereo.
