BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN -
The Essential

With most of The Essential series artists selected getting double disc releases (like
Leonard Cohen, Janis Joplin and Ozzy), Bruce gets a limited bonus disc added with rare and previously unreleased songs, having this triple set clocking in at a whopping 42 songs. The people's rocker has made quite an impact with his rock tunes and ballads, as well as some award winning movie themes. The collection runs chronologically, disc one from 1972-1982. It kicks off with Blinded By The Light and packs in favourites like 4th Of July, Asbury Park (Sandy), Rosalita (Come Out Tonight), Thunder Road, Born To Run, Badlands, The River, Hungry Heart, Nebraska and Atlantic City. Disc two covers 1984-2000, and kicks off with his resurgent blast of Born In The USA. Other unforgettables include Glory Days, Dancing in The Dark, Tunnel Of Love, Human Touch, Streets Of Philadelphia, The Ghost Of Tom Joad, Mary's Place and Lonesome Day. The dozen tracks on the bonus disc includes From Small Things (Big Things One Day Come), The Big Payback, None But The Brave, Missing, Lift Me Up, Viva Las Vegas, Dead Man Walkin' and the acoustic Countin' On A Miracle. Live tracks with the E Street Band include American Skin (41 Shots), Land Of Hope And Dreams, Held Up Without A Gun, Trapped and Code Of Silence. Thankfully his Santa Clause Is Comin' To Town version is not included. The bonus disc tracks include short paragraphs by Bruce on each, the 44-page booklet containing full lyrics plus pics throughout the decades.
