Tracks II 8211 The Lost Albums Limited Edition 7CD Box Set

The long rumoured 7-CD and 9-LP box set Bruce Springsteen has alluded to over the last several years. Tracks II: The Lost Albums are seven unheard Bruce Springsteen records made between 19832018. Featuring 82 previously unreleased songs, Tracks II: The Lost Albums fill in chapters of Springsteens expansive career timeline, while offering invaluable insight into his life and work as an artist. The Lost Albums were full records, some of them even to the point of being mixed and not released, said Springsteen. Ive played this music to myself and often close friends for years now. Im glad youll get a chance to finally hear them. I hope you enjoy them. From the lo-fi exploration of LA Garage Sessions 83, serving as a crucial link between Nebraska and Born in the U.S.A., to the drum loop and synthesizer sounds of Streets of Philadelphia Sessions. Tracks II: The Lost Albums offers unprecedented context to 35 prolific years of Springsteens songwriting and home recording. The ability to record at home whenever I wanted allowed me to go into a wide variety of different musical directions, Springsteen explained. Throughout the set, that sonic experimentation takes the form of film soundtrack work (for a movie that was never made) on Faithless, country combos with pedal steel on Somewhere North of Nashville, richly woven border tales on Inyo, orchestra-driven, mid-century noir on Twilight Hours and E Street favored rock on Perfect World. Tracks II: The Lost Albums is available in limited-edition nine-LP and seven-CD formats, including original packaging for each previously unreleased record, with a 100-page cloth-bound, hardcover book featuring rare archival photos, liner notes on each lost album from essayist Erik Flannigan and a personal introduction on the project from Springsteen himself.
