Bruce Springsteen announces release of Nebraska' 82

Bruce Springsteen has announced an expanded edition of his 1982 album Nebraska, out October 17.

Nebraska 82' features a five disk box set with previously unreleased material and a never heard before trio recording of 'Born In The USA,' out today.

"We threw out the keyboards and played basically as a three-piece," said Springsteen.

"It was kinda like punk rockabilly. We were trying to bring Nebraska into the electric world."

The record will also include the E. Street band's Electric Nebraska sessions and solo outtakes from the era, as well as a newly shot performance film.

"I think in playing these songs again to be filmed, their weight impressed upon me,” added Springsteen.

“I’ve written a lot of other narrative records, but there's just something about that batch of songs on Nebraska that holds some sort of magic."

This comes ahead of the release of the singer's biopic Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere, that centres around the crafting of the 1982 album.

The film stars Jeremy Allen White as Springsteen and Jeremy Strong as his longtime manager Jon Landau.

The feature will be out in Irish cinemas on October 24.
