I thought we did this before and I had replied with one of mine regarding Springsteen’s _Born to Run_. But it turns out it was in a [thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/grouchos-cigar/848298/20) about a Cecil column about false memories. I said:

"For myself, I was absolutely 100% sure that Springsteen’s Born to Run album came out in 1974. I remember where I was living at the time I bought it and the famous appearances on the covers of Time and Newsweek came out. No doubt about it. 1974. Clear as day.

It came out in 1975."

So my memory of the previous thread on this topic also qualifies for this thread. Meta.
