Bruce Springsteen will release The Ties That Bind: The River Collection, a four-CD/three-DVD package dedicated to his 1980 double album.
Rolling Stone reports that among many component parts the box set features the original single disc album of The River (then called The Ties That Bind) that Springsteen planned to release in 1979.
It also includes 11 previously unreleased outtakes from The River sessions, a two hour Springsteen and the E Street Band concert shot in Tempe, Arizona on November 5, 1980 and a new hour long documentary shot by his long-term collaborator Thom Zimny featuring unseen footage and photographs.
The entire package is available in a 10″ x 12″ box with a hardcover 148-page coffee table book. Other images include pages from Springsteen’s notebooks, single covers, and photos from the original album package.
Springsteen shared the audio for “Meet Me In The City“. Listen to it below.
