Bruce Springsteen knows what Bruce Springsteen fans want. And that is more Bruce Springsteen.
The singer, also known as The Boss, will release seven new studio albums, as a “Tracks II: The Lost Albums” set, on June 27. It will contain material written and re-recorded between 1983 and 2018.
The news arrived this week via Instagram. The 83-song collection is mostly previously unreleased tracks, 74 of them never-before-heard songs, in a box set that includes a 100-page hardcover book.
In a video, the 75-year-old American explained on Thursday: “I often read about myself in the 90s as having some lost period or something. Really, I was working the whole time.
I built up a small collection of full albums that, for one reason or another, never got put out.

“During the pandemic, what I did for that period of time was I finished everything I had in my vault.
“So this is ‘Tracks II: The Lost Albums’. [They] are records that were full records. Some even to the point of being mixed and not released.

“For one reason or another, something I felt was missing from some of them, or they just didn’t feel complete at the time.”
He added: “Over a period of time, I built up a small collection of full albums that, for one reason or another, never got put out.”
This week, he released the song “Rain In The River” – which comes from the lost album Perfect World.
The six other albums are titled LA Garage Sessions ’83, Streets Of Philadelphia Sessions, Faithless, Somewhere North Of Nashville, Inyo and Twilight Hours.
They will come in limited-edition nine LP, seven CD and digital formats with a 100-page cloth-bound, hardcover book featuring archival photos and a personal introduction to the project from Springsteen.

A companion set titled “Lost And Found: Selections From The Lost Albums” will feature 20 highlights from across the collection – available on two LPs or one CD.
“Tracks II” follows his first “Tracks” volume. Released in 1998, it was a four-CD, 66-song collection of unreleased material.
Springsteen released his last studio album, Only the Strong Survive, in 2022. It was a collection of covers, with the Boss taking on classics from the Four Tops, The Temptations, The Supremes, Frank Wilson, Jimmy Ruffin and others.
Springsteen has been making music for decades and formed his backing group the E Street Band in 1972.
He has won 20 Grammys across his career, and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1999.


Last year saw the release of documentary, Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen And The E Street Band, which included footage of rehearsals, backstage moments and personal reflections from the “Born In The USA” singer.
The Bear actor Jeremy Allen White is set to play the veteran music star in a coming biopic titled Deliver Me From Nowhere.
Next month, Springsteen and the E Street Band will embark on a tour of Europe.
