NOTES : 

The Recording of 

The River was an

 arduous and protracted affair. 

What was once was envisaged 

as a single album, 

soon became 

(in classic Springsteen recording style)

 a vast collection of songs, 

enough to fill

 5 albums, 

where the selection of tracks

 proved to be one of 

the most important parts 

of realizing 

Springsteen's vision. 

The Tracks boxed set 

provided us with an

 insight into another 

dozen or so songs

 that provided an

 alternate view 

but it is this package's aim

 to reveal or reintroduce

Springsteen fans 

to yet another view of 

The River. 

Engineer Neil Dorfman

has confirmed that around

 50 songs were recorded

 for The River.

 The River album tracks, 

Tracks material and b-sides

 make up almost 35 of these 50 songs

 but there are also a group 

of songs that we know from the 

Telegraph Hill rehearsal sessions 

that push the figure towards 50.

 These sessions were designed to

 hone each song before the band

 entered the studio and as we know

 from official releases 

the majority of these songs were

 professionally recorded. 

It is therefore no major leap 

to suggest that every song

 on this package was also 

professionally recorded for 

The RIver. 

We will have to wait

for another Tracks collection

 to see if this is

 truly the case but in

 the meantime we would like to

 (re)present you with 

a collection of songs that

 have yet to see

 the official light of day. 

The songs on this package are stunning! 

They burn with the intensity 

that Springsteen 

and

 The E Street Band 

were producing over this period. 

We're all familiar with 

studio masterpieces such as 

Roulette 

and

 Take 'Em As They Come

 and it is this intensity that 

can be felt 

throughout these tracks. 

For too long have these tracks 

languished on 

The Lost Masters. 

With the same songs, 

played again and again 

with false starts 

and endings throughout 

and inter-band conversation 

The Lost Masters 

were of interest to

the obsessive fan

 but didn't stand up to 

repeat listening. 

It is therefore the aim

 of this package to

 elevate these eleven tracks

 from the Telegraph Hill

 rehearsal sessions 

to become a 

true companion piece 

to The River. 

We have selected

 (in our opinion)

 the best version

 of each song, 

edited each one removing 

count-ins and untidy endings 

and meticulously 

sequenced them into a 

cohesive album. 

From the first

explosive beat 

of Max's drums 

this album rocks!
