Bruce Springsteen is to release a new box set that compiles his first seven albums.
Bruce Springsteen: The Album Collection Vol. 1 1973-1984 will be remastered by respected engineers Bob Ludwig and Toby Scott, in conjunction with the artist himself.
The albums have been newly transferred from original analogue masters using the Plangent Process playback system.
The set will also feature a 60-page book featuring vintage press clippings, photos and other memorabilia from the first 11 years of Springsteen's recording career.
Bruce Springsteen is to perform at this year's Stand Up For Heroes benefit in New York, reports Rolling Stone.
Springsteen has played at every benefit since it began in 2007. Last year, he performed a three-song acoustic set.
The feature on William Burroughs in this month's issue by John Robinson made me think of some of the bands who took their names from Burroughs' books, most famously The Soft Machine, Steely Dan, and Grant Hart's Nova Mob
No-one who saw Little Feat at their peak will want to contest Jon Dale's description of them later in this issue as one of the greatest American bands of their era. Their records were great, but live they were sensational - at least until a not unusual mix of drugs and personality clashes ruined them.
Bruce Springsteen's new album, 'High Hopes', is currently streaming online.
