CHE SIA LA VOLTA BUONA?

Che sia la volta buona?

Voi che pensate?

Holiday shopping just got a lot easier for the Bruce Springsteen devotees in your life. According to Rolling Stone, E Street Band guitarist Steve Van Zandt told a UK radio station that Christmas 2010 will see the long-awaited ‘Darkness on the Edge of Town’ reissue. “We’re doing a little bit of fixes on some ‘Darkness on the Edge of Town’ outtakes, which is going to be a really fun reissue coming for Christmas,” the guitarist said in the interview.

The big news for fans though is that the reissue of the classic 1978 album, which features such classics as ‘Badlands’ and ‘Prove It All Night,’ will include unreleased material. “We put 10 or so outtakes on the [1998] ‘Tracks’ box set and we [have since] found 10 more,” Van Zandt revealed. “I’m not sure how many we’ll put on there. We’ll go back and he might finish a lyric on one or two, or finish a harmony on one or two, but we’ll keep them intact pretty much.”

The follow-up to Springsteen’s breakthrough ‘Born to Run’ album, ‘Darkness’ is considered equal or even superior by some Springsteen aficionados. During the recording period, Springsteen was involved in legal battles with former manager Mike Appel and the fury and pent-up frustration of that period of inactivity can be heard throughout the anthemic feel of many of the songs off ‘Darkness.’ Many of the tracks are also fan concert favorites, with ‘Badlands’ often taking the closing spot during recent tours.

Il commento del realizzatore della raccolta:

Bruce Springsteen
Sad Eyes Compilation Disc “Saddest Eyes”

This disc contains seventeen versions of “Sad Eyes”, spanning its first appearance in 1976 to its last appearance at the end of the ’78 tour.

(For those who may not be familiar with the ‘song’, “Sad Eyes” is what people call the interlude at the end of Backstreets that eventually became “Drive All Night” on The River album.)

OK, everyone’s got their favorite. As can be seen by their recent popularity, NYC Serenade and Thunder Road are certainly many people’s faves. I was always fascinated by Sad Eyes, especially how it changed over the three tours in which it was performed. Starting from a short interlude in 1976, then moving into a long and always-changing story, and finally developing into what later became a released song.
So I undertook a project to compile the best versions from all the best recordings, chronicling its evolution and creating a history of the piece.
I admit it – I love this disc. Of the hundreds (thousands?) of Bruce shows I’ve listened to over the last 25 years, this disc contains 90% of the material that when listening, blew me away. From the kings ringing the bells, to Joey the cop, the screaming “YOU LIED!!!!” God and the angels blowing the whole town into the sea, the old Cadillac (sitting in the back seat) and the burning farmhouse, Billy shooting his .22 at the shadows, such pretty lies, driving all night to buy some shoes, the short addition as a prelude to Backstreets, and even with an argument with a girl in the audience.

But the question is still unresolved – WHO IS TERRY? Is Terry a male friend, or is Terry his girlfriend?

Lineage – varies, but all are from CDs; some probably CDR copies of the silvers, some directly off the silver. Didn’t have an extractor/ripper, so used a microscope to transcribe the 1s and 0s into a text file, then just changed the extension to .wav – But NOTHING mp3-sourced! Lineage before they got to the silver boots? Uh, probably a home-rigged mic setup, recorded from the third stall in the men’s room, transferred through four generations of mis-aligned tape until finally bootlegged to vinyl, then played, scratched and mishandled for twenty years before being transferred to CD and sold by the bootleggers as the “Gold Limited Edition” version.
