This disc draws on material Springsteen was working on just after 1982’s “Nebraska” and pre-“Born In The USA.”

If you’re a Bruce Springsteen fan, at this point, you’ve likely heard all about his latest release, “Tracks II: The Lost Albums,” a collection of seven unreleased albums recorded from 1983 to 2018, a total of 83 new songs.

But if we take it at face value, let’s see how it does the job of introducing listeners to this new and exciting Springsteen project.

That’s because these demos, recorded at Springsteen’s home studio, somehow walked out the door and into the hands of rabid fans, who ran copies for their friends, who made copies for their friends, and so on.

“Seven Tears” has a light rockabilly swing and continues Springsteen’s affinity for the number seven, and “Unsatisfied Heart” is a heartbreaker, a legendary fan favorite that’s finally seeing the light of day.
