It’s shaping up to be a year to remember if you’re a Bruce Springsteen fan. The Boss released Tracks Two, no less than seven ‘lost’ albums in June. Now next month comes the double attraction of not only a biopic of the man, but an electric version of his 1982 album Nebraska, which up until recently was thought not to exist.
Nebraska was, of course, recorded on the most basic of equipment, unaccompanied, on a 4-track in his New Jersey home. Up until recently, the rumours that he had earlier recorded the same tracks in a studio were thought to be just that: rumours. “I have no recollection of it, but I can tell you there’s nothing in our vault that would amount to an electric Nebraska,” he told Rolling Stone in June.
