Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J. all time. They ranked it 37th on their list of greatest debut albums. As with all of his albums, Springsteen recorded more songs than could fit on the album. Many of the outtakes have been released throughout the years on various bootlegs, but have never been given an official release. Most are in a raw, demo form featuring just Springsteen, and were not fully completed. Demos such as "Mary Queen of Arkansas," "Growin' Up," "Does This Bus Stop at 82nd Street?" and "It's Hard to Be a Saint in the City" were released on the "Tracks" boxset.

Asbury Park station the construction of an extension of the New York and Long Branch Railroad (NY&LB), a subsidiary of the Central Railroad of New Jersey and the Pennsylvania Railroad. The NY&LB began as a railroad between Elizabethport (in Elizabeth, Union County) to Long Branch, finished in 1875. The railroad was extended through the city of Asbury Park on July 7 to Sea Girt. However, the station at Asbury Park was built on land donated by the Ocean Grove Campmeeting Association, a part of the Methodist Church. The new station was built for the purposes of serving both Asbury Park and Ocean Grove.
