Ratings and Reviews
How Many Times, Bruce?
How many times do you expect fans like me and countless others to keep buying the same songs over and over? That is my biggest problem with Springsteen these days. I own all but the first five songs. I suspect that others are in the same boat. Considering how big your archive is, do you really have to repackage and repackage and repackage...please stop now. Open the vaults wider.
Repackaged
Agree with Dave from Fernley.
I'm a Springsteen fan since the early 80s - also own most of the songs on the album in both studio and live format.
New material please.....
What's the Problem
A couple of observations:
1. This hasn't even come out yet, why are you reviewing it?
2. The CD is not simply another "Greatest hits" package. It is a companion piece for the upcoming autobiography. Each song corresponds with a chapter. P.S. Since Springsteen is writing about the past, the CD will, by nature, include a large number of songs previously released.
3. Have any of the complainers ever heard of Tracks. C'mon folks, that was four CD's worth of music from the vault. Additionally, when the "Best of" double CD was released, it included a third CD with rare and unreleased songs. Additionally, he included two CD's of unreleased songs with the set. Dylan is the only other artist that comes to mind that has released this much back catalog.
4. Last time I checked, no one was holding a gun to my head to purchase this. If you want it, buy it. If not, don't buy it.
5. Springsteen has been releasing music for over 40 years. Thoughout that time, he has also been the greatest live performer. At the age of 66, he is still putting on high energy shows of incredible length.
6. Finally, the way Springsteen's music is handled is actually better that the industry standard. In example, when the Beatles CD's were remastered, no new music was included. How many greatest hits packages have The Who put out (most with absolutely no new music). When U2 released their greatest hits packages, each had a CD of hits and one of rarities.
