Springsteen Releases Acclaimed 'Lost Albums' Box Set

Bruce Springsteen has released 'Tracks II: The Lost Albums,' a box set featuring seven previously unreleased albums and 83 songs recorded between 1983 and 2018, with only nine tracks previously available in any form. The collection showcases Springsteen's prolific songwriting and genre-spanning artistry, receiving widespread acclaim as a 'treasure trove' and possibly the greatest box set ever. Unlike the 1998 'Tracks' set of demos, these are fully realized albums, including lo-fi folk-rock, orchestral, country, and hip-hop experiments. Many of the songs were revisited and completed by Springsteen during the pandemic, highlighting his enduring creativity and willingness to explore new musical directions. The polished albums offer an alternative history of his career and further cement his legacy. The release coincides with anticipation for a forthcoming Springsteen biopic and is available in multiple formats as of June 27, 2025.
