Bruce Springsteen is set to amaze fans with the upcoming release of seven previously unheard albums titled âTracks II: The Lost Albums,â which will drop on June 27. This monumental collection will feature a total of 83 songs, 74 of which have never been officially released, according to announcements from the artist and The New York Times.
Springsteen shared this exciting news across his social media, highlighting his deep connection to these tracks, which span from 1983 to 2018. He stated, âDuring the pandemic, what I did for that period of time was I finished everything I had in my vault,â indicating that the time allowed him to complete a collection of songs he felt were once incomplete CBS News.
This comprehensive box set will not only include the music but also feature a 100-page hardcover book filled with archival photos and a personal introduction by Springsteen himself. Among the albums are âLA Garage Sessions â83â, which contains tracks from the period leading to the classic Born In The U.S.A., and âFaithlessâ, an experimental album from the early 1990s BBC.
Springsteen remarked on the significance of these lost albums, expressing that they âfill in rich chapters of [his] expansive career timeline, offering invaluable insight into his life and work as an artist.â Fans are particularly excited about the first released track from the collection, Rain In The River, from the album âPerfect Worldâ South China Morning Post.
The release of âTracks II: The Lost Albumsâ is a follow-up to his earlier collection Tracks, released in 1998, which compiled various off-cuts and b-sides. This much-anticipated box set will come in limited-edition formats including seven CDs and nine vinyl records, making it a must-have for die-hard fans and collectors alike.
Next month, Springsteen will also embark on a European tour with his E Street Band, continuing his storied musical journey The New York Times.
