There is disagreement on the album's release date between official sources and third-party sources, including various Springsteen biographies covering the era. Springsteen's official website provides a release date of September 11, 1973; however, it is known that Springsteen was still in the studio finishing recording for the album past this date. The consensus among other sources is that the album was released in November, possibly November 11 , though November 5 has also been cited among online sources.
