Bruce Springsteen / The Ties That Bind: The River Collection

The Ties That Bind: The River Collection is a brand new six or seven disc deluxe set that takes comprehensive look at Bruce Springsteen‘s The River era.

The set will be offered in 4CD+2 x blu-ray or 4CD+3DVD and will contains 52 audio tracks with a wealth of unreleased material, and four hours of never-before-seen video on blu-ray (or DVD depending on which set you opt for).

The audio element is comprised of the original The River double album as released in 1980 and the first official release of The River: Single Album which 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 fourth CD on the box set is 22-track collection called The River: Outtakes, which spans the entire The River sessions in 1979 and 1980. Eleven songs are rarities that have never been released before – for the most part are completely unheard

The blu-rays (or DVDs) will include a a brand new documentary The Ties That Bind (60 mins) about The River; never-released, newly edited multi-camera footage from Springsteen’s 1980 show in Tempe, Arizona and never-before-seen; rare tour rehearsal footage. The 5 November Arizona gig runs for 2 hours, 40 minutes features early live versions of over half of The River songs.

The Ties That Bind: The River Collection is packaged in a 10″ x 12″ box and includes a 148-page hardcover book of 200 rare or previously unseen photos and memorabilia with a new essay by Mikal Gilmore.

The Ties That Bind: The River Collection will be released on 4 December 2015.
