‘Tracks ll: The Lost Albums’ – Bruce Springsteen to release seven albums of unreleased songs

The announcement of a new Bruce Springsteen album is always something to be celebrated. Well, imagine being a fan of The Boss today, when not one but seven new studio albums are on the way…

Springsteen will release seven new studio albums, titled ‘Tracks II: The Lost Albums’, on 27 June, containing material written and re-recorded between 1983 and 2018.

The 83-song collection is mostly previously unreleased tracks, 74 of them never-before-heard songs, in a box set that includes a 100-page hardcover book. It will be available in configurations including a 7-CD set and a 9-LP vinyl collection.

Scroll down for the full tracklist of Tracks II – comprised of ‘LA Garage Sessions ’83’, ‘Streets of Philadelphia Sessions’, ‘Faithless’, ‘Somewhere North of Nashville’, ‘Inyo’, ‘Twilight Hours’ and ‘Perfect World’.

In a short video clip posted to Instagram, Springsteen explains that during the COVID-19 pandemic, he began completing “everything I had in my vault.”

“The Lost Albums are records that were full records, some of them even to the point of being mixed and not released.”

Springsteen teased the records earlier this week with a short video which featured the text: “What was lost has been found.” The caption urged his followers to head to www.lostalbums.net.

A teaser track, ‘Rain in the River’, came out concurrently with the announcement. Check it out:

‘Tracks ll’ follows his first ‘Tracks’ volume, which was released in 1998 and consisted in a 4-CD, 66-song collection of unreleased material.

Springsteen’s last studio album, ‘Only The Strong Survive’ – a collection of covers including classics from the Four Tops, Temptations, Supremes, Jimmy Ruffin and others – was released in 2022.

“I wanted to make an album where I just sang,” Springsteen said in a statement at the time. “And what better music to work with than the great American songbook of the Sixties and Seventies?”
