Needless to say, there are plenty of previously unheard/seen goodies for fans to feast on!
Brooooooce fans are in for a treat on December 4 as Columbia Records release The Ties That Bind: The River Collection, a monster 4CD/3DVD celebration of the classic1980 double album that propelled Springsteen to a whole new level of stardom.
It was assembled over an 18 month period, during which time Bruce was constantly dropping and re-jigging songs.
The treasure trove of bonus material includes a CD of 1979/1980 studio outtakes, The River: Single Album, with a rockabilly version of 'You Can Look (But You Better Not Touch' of particular interest; The River: Outtakes, none of which have previously been released - well, not officially!; a new hour-long documentary, The Ties That Bind and Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band: The River Tour, Tempe 1980, a pearler of a gig edited by Grammy and Emmy-winning filmmaker Thom Zimny.
Add in a hardcover 148-page 'making of' book that includes 200 studio and live photographs, and you've the perfect Christmas gift for the Boss obsessive in your life.
