I have a box set of unreleased albums that are basically post-1988. People have always wondered… People look at my work in the Nineties and they go, "The Nineties wasn't a great decade for Bruce. He was kind of doing this and he wasn't in the E Street Band…" I actually made a lot of music during that period of time. I actually made albums. For one reason or another, the timing wasn't right or whatever, I didn't put them out.

They've kind of gathered… Some of it is older stuff that the band plays on, and some of it is newer stuff where I was conceptualizing during that period of time. It'll give people a chance to reassess what I was doing during that time period. Also, a lot of the stuff is really weird. There's going to be people that really…I can't wait to see the response to some of it. – Bruce Springsteen to Rolling Stone, November 2022

Tracks II: The Lost Albums are seven unheard Bruce Springsteen records made between 1983-2018. Featuring 82 previously unreleased songs, Tracks II: The Lost Albums fill in chapters of Springsteen's expansive career timeline, while offering invaluable insight into his life and work as an artist.

"The Lost Albums were full records, some of them even to the point of being mixed and not released," said Springsteen. "I've played this music to myself and often close friends for years now. I'm glad you'll get a chance to finally hear them. I hope you enjoy them."

From the lo-fi exploration of LA Garage Sessions '83, serving as a crucial link between Nebraska and Born in the U.S.A., to the drum loop and synthesizer sounds of Streets of Philadelphia Sessions. Tracks II: The Lost Albums offers unprecedented context to 35 prolific years of Springsteen's songwriting and home recording. "The ability to record at home whenever I wanted allowed me to go into a wide variety of different musical directions," Springsteen explained. Throughout the set, that sonic experimentation takes the form of film soundtrack work (for a movie that was never made) on Faithless, country combos with pedal steel on Somewhere North of Nashville, richly woven border tales on Inyo, orchestra-driven, mid-century noir on Twilight Hours and E Street favored rock on Perfect World.

Tracks II: The Lost Albums is available in a limited-edition nine-LP format, including original packaging for each previously unreleased record, with a 100-page cloth-bound, hardcover book featuring rare archival photos, liner notes on each lost album from essayist Erik Flannigan and a personal introduction on the project from Springsteen himself.
