Bruce Springsteen will release seven “ lost albums ” in June

Bruce Springsteen opens her safe – and unleashes seven LP “lost”.

On June 27, Springsteen will release “Tracks II: The Lost Albums”, a collection of 83 songs out of seven CDs (or nine vinyl lps), 74 of which have never been officially published in any form, according to an announcement from The Star on Thursday.

Fans have long known that Springsteen has retained many songs throughout his career. Over the years, the singer-songwriter has made wandering comments on the recordings put dissociated or unfinished, sometimes seeming the itching of finishing them and going out.

But even many bruteologists can be surprised by the scale of “Tracks II”, which is organized as seven discreet projects from 1983 to 2018, each with their own production and its own stylistic approach. Among them, there are bands that work from the fruitful period of Springsteen “Born in the USA” and an album influenced by hip-hop in the early 1990s.

“” The lost albums “was complete discs, some of which to the point of being mixed and not released,” said Springsteen, 75, in a press release.

“The garage sessions ’83” has 18 songs from the time when Springsteen developed “Born in the USA”, its Hit Monster 1984, at the time of transition from Brutes solo demos which were published “Nebraska” (1982). Many of these titles, such as “Fugitive’s Dream” and “Do’t Back Down on Love”, have long circulated among fans as bootlegs, but obtain their first official outing on “Tracks II”.

“Streets of Philadelphia Sessions” backs the curtain on another phase of the Springsteen career. After using synthesizers and a drum to record “Streets of Philadelphia”, a solo song for the film by Jonathan Demme in 1993 “Philadelphia” – which won the best original song at Academy Awards – Springsteen continued to experience the format, and a filtered word on a dark LP with a “hip -hop edge”. But even after having completely prepared it at the exit, Springsteen chose to hold the album.
