Description
THE BOSS, “TRACKS II: THE LOST ALBUMS” These are seven unreleased Bruce Springsteen albums made between 1983 and 2018.
Featuring 82 previously unreleased songs, The Lost Albums completes chapters in Springsteen’s extensive career, while offering valuable insight into his life and work as an artist.
“The Lost Albums were complete albums, some of them even to the point of being mixed and not released,” Springsteen said.
“I’ve been listening to this music for years, both for myself and my close friends. I’m glad they finally have the chance to hear it. I hope they enjoy it.”
From the lo-fi exploration of LA Garage Sessions ’83, which served as a crucial link between Nebraska and Born in the USA.
Right down to the drum and synth sounds of Streets of Philadelphia Sessions, The Lost Albums offer unprecedented context to Springsteen’s 35 prolific years of songwriting and home recording.
“The ability to record at home whenever I wanted allowed me to explore a wide variety of different musical directions,” Springsteen explained.
Throughout the set, that sonic experimentation takes the form of film score work (for a film that was never made) on Faithless,
Pedal steel country combos on Somewhere North of Nashville, richly woven frontier tales on Inyo, mid-century orchestral noir on Twilight Hours, and E Street-favorite rock on Perfect World.
“The Lost Albums” comes in a limited 9-LP box set, featuring the original packaging for each previously unreleased record.
It also includes a 100-page, cloth-bound hardcover book featuring exclusive archival photos.
Notes on each lost album by essayist Erik Flannigan and a personal introduction to the project from The Boss himself.
