For decades, Bruce Springsteen has hidden a treasure trove of unreleased songs and has only shared it with close friends.
Currently, The Rock Legend is about to unveil Tracks II: The Lost Albums, a collection of over 70 unreleased tracks recorded between 1983 and 2018. The announcement, made Thursday, promises one of the most anticipated musical events of the year.
Springsteen, 75, described the seven full albums as experiments in “new formats, new genres, new sonic modalities.” The meticulously recorded and mixed, but shelved for years, were archived for “what I felt I was losing, or they didn’t feel completely.” The pandemic allowed him to revisit the safe, finishing up what he called the “small collection of full albums” that dispels rumors of the “lost era” of the 1990s. “I was working the whole time,” he reportedly said.
Springsteen’s 74 lost track was not heard outside the circle of friends
The release includes 82 tracks, of which 74 tracks He has never been played outside of his own circle of friends offered in box sets of 9 lp or 7 cds and digital format. Lost and Found: losts from the Lost Albums highlights 20 of the best tracks. Most notable include La Garage Sessions ’83, with 18 songs from US Born in the Usa Era, and Streets of Philadelphia Sessions, revealing the hip-hop edge from the 1993 Oscar-winning hit. Other albums like Faithless are linked to unfinished films, showing a more predictable departure from the sound somewhere north of Nashville with the country edge.
Looking back at the works on the shelves of his memoirs, he wrote, “It’s where she sits.” Now fans will finally hear the rest of the story. Track II: Lost album will be released on June 27th.
