Bruce Springsteen has officially announced the release of Tracks II: The Lost Albums, a massive box set featuring 83 previously unreleased songs recorded between 1983 and 2018. Arriving on June 27, the collection will be available in 7-CD and 9-LP editions, complete with a 100-page book filled with archival photos and detailed liner notes by Erik Flannigan.
Unlike the first Tracks box set from 1998, which compiled standalone outtakes, The Lost Albums focuses on entire unreleased records, some of which were fully mixed but never made public. Springsteen, reflecting on the collection, shared:
“These were complete albums, some already mixed, that I played for myself and close friends over the years. I’m excited that fans will finally hear them.”
The seven albums included in the set highlight Springsteen’s home recording era, where he explored various musical styles with additional musicians. The tracklist features:
- LA Garage Sessions ’83 – Early Born in the U.S.A. sessions with a raw Nebraska-style sound.
- Streets of Philadelphia Sessions – Synth-driven recordings reminiscent of his Philadelphia soundtrack.
- Faithless – A soundtrack for an unproduced film.
- Somewhere North of Nashville – Country-influenced material.
- Inyo – Inspired by Mexican border music.
- Twilight Hours – Described as having “mid-century noir orchestral atmospheres.“
- Perfect World – The source of the first released single, “Rain in the River.”
Produced by Ron Aniello with engineering by Rob Lebret, the project was overseen by Jon Landau at Thrill Hill Recording Studios in New Jersey.
Additionally, a condensed 20-track highlights album titled Lost and Found: Selections from The Lost Albums will be released on the same day, available on 2-LP and 1-CD formats.
For Springsteen fans, this long-lost music offers a rare glimpse into The Boss’ most intimate and experimental recordings—a true treasure trove of unheard masterpieces.
