Bruce Springsteen Releases 7 Lost Albums Box Set

Bruce Springsteen is releasing "Tracks II: The Lost Albums," a box set featuring 83 previously unreleased songs recorded between 1983 and 2018, organized into seven distinct albums that showcase a range of musical styles. Unlike his 1998 "Tracks" collection, which compiled outtakes in chronological order, this set presents complete albums that were fully recorded and sometimes mixed but never released, reflecting different phases and genres of Springsteen's artistic evolution. The albums vary widely, including rockabilly, orchestral adult pop, country rock, and more, highlighting Springsteen's versatility and willingness to explore new directions. Notable albums within the collection are "LA Garage Sessions ’83," "Streets of Philadelphia Sessions," and "Faithless," which features spiritual themes, while "Perfect World" includes E Street Band performances that could stand as a new release today. A rare cover song, Johnny Rivers' "Poor Side of Town," appears on the "Somewhere North of Nashville" album, praised for its blues and country pop influence. Overall, the release offers fans and music historians a rich, immersive look into Springsteen's creative process and musical breadth over 35 years.
