I always tell myself that some day I'm gonna put an album out with all this stuff on it that didn't fit in. Discussing that issue in 1984, Springsteen told Rolling Stone's Kurt Loder, "We record a lot of material, but we just don't release it all. Many of these unreleased studio outtakes got under the hands of bootleggers. I'm glad to finally be able to share this music here are some of the ones that got away.īruce Springsteen's albums were thematically linked even if they were not strictly concept albums so some tracks that didn't fit the theme of the album ended up orphaned, not necessarily because they didn't meet his high standards, but because, he says, they didn't fit in with the tone or themes he mined for each set. It's the alternate route to some of the destinations I travelled to on my records, an invitation into the studio on the many nights we spent making music in search of the records we presented to you. This collection contains everything from the first notes I sang in the Columbia recording studio, my early and later work with the E Street Band, through to my music in the 90s. One of the results of working like this was that a lot of music, including some of my favorite things, remained unreleased. On some of my other records the reasons I had for choosing one song over another, in hindsight, feel a good deal less significant. In certain instances, as on Darkness on the Edge of Town, Nebraska, and The Ghost of Tom Joad, these choices crystallized the album I was making.

As a result, my albums became a series of choices - what to include, what to leave out? I based my decisions on my creative point of view at the moment - the subject I was trying to focus on, something musical or emotional I was trying to express. What we were doing in there was making a lot of music, a lot more music than I could use at any one time. In the liner notes of his Tracks box set, Bruce Springsteen introduces the box set as follows:ĭuring long intervals between my record releases, as I was spending more and more time in the studio, when I met a fan out on the street I was often asked, "What are you guys doing in there?" I regularly pondered that question myself.

Oh oh, I wanna be with you, I wanna be with you When I see you on the street I fall on my face I just can't understand it, you're not pretty at allīut I come when you whisper, I run when you call I don't care what they say, go ahead and let 'em all talk 'Cause all I wanna do is be seen with you I got thrown out of my house, I got such a bad reputation 'Cause instead of pumping gas I'd dream of you (I wanna be with you), I wanna be with you I can't sleep at night, I got one thing on my mind Well that's just fine, that's alright with me Now let the frozen cities crumble, crumble and fall It ain't nothin' for me to ball on you It ain't nothin' for me to spoil you If I adore you, I'ma give you that theory I wanna be with you, I wanna be with you I wanna be with you, I wanna be with you I wanna be with you, I wanna be with you I wanna be with you, I wanna be with you I wanna be where the commas will be But I need a hood nigga with the llama degree Get the limited edition, Audemars, it could be In a pivotal position, gotta pardon the fee 'Cause he bought a couple bags and he sent a couple whips And he took a couple trips, then it's dinner and a Myx And he's never with no other chick, fronting like he's slick 'Cause it's levels to this shit, and she could never be Nic Niggas be fallin' in love with this pussy Mean stew chicken, and bake him a couple of cookies Dick on veteran, ain't fucking with rookies Saw the High School video now he wanna play hookie Baddest bitch, I'm the catalyst Ain't never been done, bitch I added this Nah, I ain't gotta shoot, I got mad assists 'Bout to put a couple pieces on the mannequin Got a big billboard out in Madison At the Trump, and you bitches at the Radisson Got the.
