35 Years Of Hidden Gems: Bruce Springsteen To Release 7 Complete ‘Lost Albums’ In June

Bruce Springsteen will release the massive Tracks II: The Lost Albums collection featuring seven previously-unheard albums spanning 1983 – 2018 on June 27 via Sony Music. The Boss previewed the collection by sharing “Rain In The River,” one of 74 songs on the 83-track set that has never been officially released in any form.

Tracks II: The Lost Albums will arrive in limited-edition 7-CD and 9-LP formats as well as digitally. A companion set, Lost And Found: Selections From The Lost Albums, is also due on June 27 on two LPs or one CD. Springsteen dug into his archives to work on the long-awaited follow-up to 1998’s Tracks while locked down during the pandemic. The Boss completed the compilation at his Thrill Hill Recording facility in New Jersey with producer Ron Aniello, engineer Rob Lebret and supervising producer Jon Landau.

“’The Lost Albums’ were full records, some of them even to the point of being mixed and not released,” explained Springsteen. “I’ve played this music to myself and often close friends for years now. I’m glad you’ll get a chance to finally hear them. I hope you enjoy them.”

Tracks II begins with LA Garage Sessions ’83, recorded in advance of Springsteen’s blockbuster Born In The U.S.A. album. The forthcoming set also includes albums entitled Streets Of Philadelphia Sessions, Faithless, Somewhere North Of Nashville, Inyo, Twilight Hours and Perfect World.
