While there’s no shortage of Bruce Springsteen classics, ‘The Boss’ is delighting fans with even more music in the pipeline. This summer, he’ll be releasing “lost” music for the first time since 1998, when the Hall of Famer released his “Tracks” boxed set of unreleased material. However, this time, he’s serving up seven full previously unheard albums with “Tracks II: The Lost Albums.” Here’s everything to know about Bruce Springsteen’s latest project. 

Bruce Springsteen to put out ‘lost albums’

On June 27, Springsteen will unveil “Tracks II: The Lost Albums,” including 83 songs across seven CDs (or nine vinyl records), 74 of which have never been heard by the public, according to an announcement the rock legend made Thursday. All of the songs were originally recorded between 1983 and 2018. 

​​”I often read about myself in the ‘90s as having some sort of ‘lost’ period or something. Not really, really I was working the whole time,” Springsteen said in a video announcing the project. “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’ are records that were full records, some of them 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.”
