Companion album to forthcoming biog offers unheard demos
Bruce Springsteen’s forthcoming autobiography (due in September) will be called Born To Run and The Boss has decided to put together a selection of his songs on a companion album called Chapter and Verse.
The 18-track album will be released four days before the book and amongst its songs – all handpicked to reflect the themes and sections of Born to Run – are five previously unreleased tracks
The compilation traces Springsteen’s musical history and begins with two tracks from The Castiles, featuring a teenaged Bruce on guitar and vocals, and ends with the title track from 2012’s Wrecking Ball.
Chapter and Verse will be issued on 23 September 2016 as a single CD and double LP and the package will include lyrics and rare photos. Note, if you’re ordering the book, other countries will have it printed in other languages!
