Five Bruce Springsteen albums, including Live In Dublin, are coming to vinyl next month

On February 21, five Bruce Springsteen albums are set to be released on vinyl for the first time in over a decade, via Columbia Records/Legacy Recordings.

The Rising, Devils & Dust, Live In New York City, Live In Dublin and 18 Tracks comprise the majority of Springsteen's recorded output from the beginning of the millennium - a period that saw the long-awaited reunion of the E Street Band. Each album has been transferred from the original source masters, allowing for the highest quality pressings possible.

The Rising (2002) will be reissued on 2LP vinyl for the first time in over 15 years. The album offered messages of healing and redemption in the wake of 9/11, and saw The E Street Band re-unite in the studio for the first time in nearly a decade.

Devils & Dust (2005) comes to vinyl for the first time since its original release on the format. "The songs are closely observed country noir vignettes,," Hot Press's Peter Murphy wrote in his review of the album, "the testimonies of losers reaching a detente with the fates and promising to do better."

Live In New York City (2001) arrives on 3LPs for the first time since its original pressing. The set chronicles Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band's much-anticipated reunion tour, recorded over two nights at Madison Square Garden in the summer of 2000.

Live In Dublin (2007) will be released on vinyl for the first time ever, a 2LP snapshot of Bruce Springsteen's work with The Sessions Band. The album includes classic folk songs popularised by Pete Seeger, plus radically rearranged versions of Bruce Springsteen favourites.

Finally, 18 Tracks (1999) is coming to vinyl for the first time in over 20 years. The 2LP set features rarities like the original 'Born In The U.S.A.' demo and exclusive songs 'Trouble River', a 1999 re-recording of 'The Promise' and Springsteen's original version of 'The Fever', made famous by Southside Johnny and The Asbury Jukes.

All five reissues can be pre-ordered here.
