Each of the 4 c.d.'s could have been a standout single release
Maybe I have too many c. I purchased this set when it was released in '98 and listened to it a couple of times, liked it, and then didn't listen to it again until April of 2009. d. 's, or possibly my 4 kids diverted my attention, but I can't believe I'd forgotten how good this collection is.
It's difficult to summarize a 66 track set, but from '72 through '95 Springsteen's artistic powers were such that even the unreleased material exemplified here is uniformly excellent and only comparable to the first volumes of the Dylan Bootleg series. This boxed set is truly a stunning achievement.
Great Collection Of Outtakes and B-sides By The Boss
Picking out highlights is pointless, as most of what's here is great, even if the idiosyncrasies that kept it from being released on an album before 1998 are easily discernible. TRACKS is a great collection of outtakes by Bruce Springsteen, with some B-sides thrown in for good measure. This is a set that you must own.
Somebody Elses Songs
And this is the trash, shows you how amazing of a writer Springsteen was. If some guy named Joe Smith had made these four+ albums over a twenty year period he would have sold millions of albums and been famous. This music stands on its own merit. Top notch Bruce here in all kinds of sounds and styles. A must have collection if you love Bruce. Sad to see he became a weak minded brainwashed Liberal who hates the USA in his old age. Oh but in his prime he was THE BOSS. .
Bruce Springsteen Tracks (4CD)
If you are a true Springsteen fan, you will not be disappointed!! I am very delighted that I added this to my collection. I have not been at all disappointed with these CDs. .
Excellent
Before this album, he was nothing more but "Streets of Philadelphia", "Secret Garden" and "Dancing In The Dark". Great album, astounding artist! You'll discover how deep and beautiful is the music of Bruce Springsteen. With this album I've discovered an entire universe of sound, rhythm and stories. Enjoy a special artist and a thrilling voice.
