Bruce Springsteen is set to release Tracks II: The Lost Albums on June 27, 2025—an epic collection featuring seven previously unreleased albums recorded between 1983 and 2018. This 83-track anthology, including 74 never-before-heard songs, offers a rare glimpse into the rock legend’s extensive archive, highlighting his evolving artistry over three and a half decades.
The box set features a wide variety of recordings, including the raw and gritty LA Garage Sessions ’83, the synth-heavy Streets of Philadelphia Sessions, the moody and cinematic Twilight Hours, and the emotionally resonant Somewhere North of Nashville, which leans heavily into country influences. Each album within the collection reveals a different side of Springsteen’s songwriting, capturing everything from stripped-down demos to fully produced tracks that never made it to his mainstream releases.
Despite the overwhelming excitement surrounding the announcement, fans have reported a number of technical difficulties on major digital and streaming platforms. Songs like “Blind Spot” and “Rain in the River”—both early teasers from the box set—have been inaccessible for some users, with errors ranging from missing tracks to playback failures. Social media and fan forums have been abuzz with complaints and concern over the inconsistent rollout.
Springsteen’s team has since acknowledged the issue and confirmed they are working closely with digital service providers to ensure all tracks will be fully available and functional by the time of the official launch. In the meantime, physical pre-orders for the set have gone live, including a nine-LP vinyl edition and a seven-CD package, both of which come with a 100-page hardcover book featuring rare archival photos and detailed liner notes.
As the countdown to June 27 continues, Tracks II: The Lost Albums is shaping up to be one of the most significant releases in Springsteen’s legendary career—a deep dive into the vault that promises to satisfy both die-hard fans and music historians alike.
