Brand new, still sealed.

When Bruce Springsteen delved into the vaults to compile Tracks, his 1998 four-CD set of outtakes, B-sides, and rarities, it was a watershed for the Bosss longtime fans. There were a couple of notable omissions, though, including The Fever (covered most famously by Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes) and The Promise, a longtime fan favorite thats never been included on any official Springsteen release. Those cuts appear at last on this single-disc distillation of the box set thats satisfying for casual fans not willing to shell out for the whole thing but essential for hardcore Springsteen followers needing those cuts to complete their collection. One caveat: The Promise is a newly recorded acoustic version, not the oft-bootlegged take fans had hoped for. Theres a nice selection of cuts from the box, though, and yet another bonus track, Trouble River, a hard-hitting outtake from the Human Touch sessions.
