The Ties That Bind: The River Collection

After a lot of rumors The Ties That Bind: The River Collection will be published on December 4th 2015.

The box set is already available on Amazon, did you already book it?

This is the description from the official Springsteen’s site:

Columbia Records will release Bruce Springsteen’s ‘The Ties That Bind: The River Collection’ on December 4th. A comprehensive look at ‘The River’ era, the set contains 52 tracks on 4 CDs with a wealth of unreleased material, and 4 hours of never-before-seen video on 3 DVDs. It is comprised of the original ‘The River’ double album; the first official release of ‘The River: Single Album;’ a CD of 1979/80 studio outtakes; a two-DVD film of never-released, newly edited multi-camera footage from Springsteen’s famed 1980 show in Tempe, AZ, long rumored but never-before-seen; rare tour rehearsal footage; a brand new documentary “The Ties That Bind” about ‘The River;’ and a coffee table book of 200 rare or previously unseen photos and memorabilia with a new essay by Mikal Gilmore.

‘The River,’ Springsteen’s fifth album, was released on October 17, 1980 as a double album and reached #1 on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart. In his notes, Gilmore calls ‘The River’ Springsteen’s “pivotal album—[the] hinge between the ambitious commotions that had preceded it and the more succinct musical riots, and sometimes terrifying storytelling, that followed.”

‘The River: Single Album’ is the 10-track album that Springsteen recorded in 1979 as a follow up to 1978’s ‘Darkness On The Edge Of Town’ but never released. “The songs lacked the kind of unity and conceptual intensity I liked my music to have. So we went back in the studio,” he wrote in the lyrics/photo book “Songs.” The early sessions marked the beginning of a prolific 18-month long journey of writing and recording. Seven of the 10 titles on ‘The River: Single Album’ eventually appeared on ‘The River,’ some with alternate lyrics and arrangements, with outtakes like “Cindy” and a rockabilly version of “You Can Look (But You Better Not Touch)” never released. Now for the first time ‘The River: Single Album’ will be officially available.

The fourth CD on the box set is ‘The River: Outtakes,’ which spans the entire ‘The River’ sessions in 1979 and 1980 and illustrate the depth and variety of Springsteen’s work during this period. Eleven songs are rarities that have never been released before, and for the most part are completely unheard and unknown even to fans, who have long considered Springsteen’s outtakes to be treasured secrets.

“The Ties That Bind” is a brand new 60-minute documentary produced and directed by Grammy and Emmy-winning filmmaker Thom Zimny that features an intimate interview with Springsteen as he reflects on the tumultuous, extended period writing and recording ‘The River.’ The film transitions between Springsteen telling the stories behind the music — and illustrating them with solo acoustic guitar performances — interspersed with period concert footage and rare photos of Bruce and the band in and out of the studio.

The final video component is “Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band: The River Tour, Tempe 1980,” a new film produced from footage professionally filmed in 1980 using four cameras and recorded in multitrack audio. The film features 24 songs — 2 hours, 40 minutes — on 2 DVDs from Springsteen’s November 5, 1980 concert at Arizona State University in Tempe, AZ. Widely regarded as one of Springsteen’s finest performances, this intense show features early live versions of over half of ‘The River’ songs. Also included is 20 minutes of footage from the late September, 1980 River Tour rehearsals held in Lititz, PA, showing Springsteen and The E Street Band working through live arrangements of what was then unreleased material from the upcoming album.

‘The Ties That Bind: The River Collection’ is packaged in a 10” x 12” box with a hardcover 148-page coffee table book containing 200 studio and live photographs — most of which have never been seen before — plus pages from Springsteen’s notebooks, single covers, images and outtakes from the original album package, and other memorabilia documenting the album.
I’ve already ordered my copy, what about you?

# So, any news on Springsteen’s plans for 2016?

A lot of rumors are around concerning Springsteen’s plans for next year.

A new album with the E-Street Band will come? A new solo album? A solo album plus E-Street support, like Tunnel Of Love was?

Or maybe a new album with another band?

Up to now Springsteen is resting and he just played in several occasion during the past months.

Until further notice I watch DVD bootleg, I read book and list audio bootleg.

What about you?

Hey Blue Eyes is a new Springsteen’s song included in American Beauty published on April 2014.

## Hey Blue Eyes Lyrics

They’re holding the committee
Of treason and lies
Double speak and sedition
Then somebody dies
From the hills the smell of lilacs
Then the repeat of guns
She closes the window and draws the blinds
Her first touch sucks the air from my lungs
Hey blue eyes
Whatcha doing tonight
Hey blue eyes
Yeah, it’s alright
She says in this house we’ve abandoned history
In this house there are no laws
Just the false taste of paradise Continue reading →

High Hopes, the new album of Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street band, will be official released tomorrow January 14th.

As already discussed here, the new tour (High Hopes Tour?) will start on January 26th from Cape Town and will call only South Africa, Australia and New Zealand.

There isn’t any scheduled concert to promote High Hopes in Europe or in the U.S.A. for the moment.

Apparently, Bruce Springsteen is working on several projects: new edition of Greetings From Asbury Park, new edition of The Wild, The Innocent And The E-Street Shuffle, special edition of The River and two new albums.

Question: what do you expect as next step? A new album, a remastered edition or both? You can leave a comment here below!
