This is surely the greatest box set of all time. It is what box sets were invented for, an alternative history of one of the great musical artists of our age that is every bit as compelling as his actual history.
Bruce Springsteen’s Tracks II: The Lost Albums features seven unreleased albums written and recorded between 1983 and 2018, including 83 original songs, only nine of which have been heard before (and seven of those in completely different versions). These are not sketches, demos or drafts. They are complete albums, finished to the last detail.
