A 100-page cloth-bound, hardcover book featuring rare archival photos, liner notes on each lost album from essayist Erik Flannigan and a personal introduction on the project from Springsteen himself.
Bruce Frederick Joseph Springsteen is an American songwriter, singer and guitarist. He has frequently recorded and toured with the E Street Band. Springsteen is most widely known for his brand of heartland rock infused with pop hooks, poetic lyrics, and Americana sentiments centered around his native New Jersey. His eloquence in expressing ordinary, everyday problems has earned him numerous awards, including twenty Grammy Awards and an Academy Award, along with an international fan base. His most famous albums, Born to Run and Born in the U.S.A., epitomize his penchant for finding grandeur in the struggles of daily life. He has sold over 64 million albums in the U.S. alone.
Definitely enjoyed learning about the making of these “lost albums.” On the other hand, if fewer photos, a soft cover and getting rid of inserts would have made the set $50 cheaper, that might have been the better play.
A nice book that provides a little, but not a lot, of extra insight to the songs making up Tracks 2. The clothbound cover is nice, as are the extra goodies tucked in the pages.
