Springsteen's Darkness Package Coming


Mark Nov. 16 on your calendars.

That's the day Bruce Springsteen releases The Promise box set.

The set features a three CD/three DVD package of the remastered Darkness On The Edge Of Town album, never-before-seen studio and live footage, an 80-page notebook, 21 previously unreleased songs, and a much-anticipated documentary.

A 1978 Houston performance is part of the package, according to the press release.

While Born To Run will always be the most magical of all Springsteen releases, Darkness is his workhorse, with such staples as "Badlands," "The Promised Land," and "Prove It All Night." The Darkness songs have served as cornerstones for his live performances and remain among his most powerful compositions.

There will be something for vinyl fans here. Springsteen reports that there will be an edition that consists of only the unheard complete songs on two CDs or four LPs, along with lyrics and the new essay.

A clip of the documentary and a stream of the unreleased song "Save My Love" are running on Springsteen Web site.
