Bruce Springsteen will release “Chapter And Verse”, a new collection featuring unreleased tracks that doubles as an audio companion to his upcoming autobiography “Born To Run.”
Due on September 23 - the New Jersey rocker’s 67th birthday – the set delivers tunes from throughout his career as he reveals the storyline to his memoir.
The package opens with five unreleased songs from Springsteen’s early days, including two from The Castiles, one each from Steel Mill and The Bruce Springsteen Band, and a solo studio track from 1972 – all prior to the release of his 1973 debut, “Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J.”
“Chapter And Verse” will be available as a single CD and double LP, as well as via digital download and streaming.
Springsteen will publish his autobiography, “Born To Run”, on September 27 via Simon & Schuster.
The singer recounts growing up in Freehold, NJ, his early days as a bar band king in Asbury Park, and the rise of the E Street Band.
Springsteen’s current European trek wraps up in Zurich, Switzerland on July 31, following which he’ll resume The River Tour at New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium on August 23.
The 2016 run will end at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, MA on September 14.
