SPRINGSTEEN, BRUCE

Met het verhaal achter Bruce Springsteens Nebraska dat wordt verkend in de speelfilm Deliver Me From Nowhere, brengt Nebraska '82: Expanded Edition (vier LP's + één Blu-Ray) onthullend, niet eerder uitgebracht materiaal uit deze productieve periode, waaronder de legendarische Electric Nebraska-sessies met de E Street Band en solo-opnames thuis en in de studio, aangevuld met een remaster van het originele album uit 2025 en een nieuwe film met alle tien nummers van Nebraska achter elkaar gespeeld.
Springsteens akoestische meesterwerk uit 1982 wordt aangevuld met 17 hedendaagse opnames (waarvan 15 niet eerder uitgebracht) die deel uitmaakten van de golf van inspiratie die Nebraska vormde en dezelfde beklijvende thema's delen. Samen vergroten ze ons begrip van hoe dit baanbrekende album tot stand kwam en weerspiegelen ze de breedte van Springsteens creatieve intenties op een cruciaal moment in zijn artistieke ontwikkeling.

Limited Nebraska '82: Expanded Edition 4LP (Black Vinyl) + Blu-Ray Box Set: Disc 1: Nebraska Outtakes, Disc 2: Electric Nebraska, Disc 3: Nebraska (Count Basie Theatre, Red Bank, NJ), Disc 4: 2025 Remaster + Disc 5 (Blu-Ray): Nebraska (Count Basie Theatre, Red Bank, NJ).

Bruce Springsteen’s “Nebraska” will be explored with more context and depth than ever before this fall, with the release of a five-disc box set featuring many never-before-heard and previously-undiscovered recordings. “Nebraska ’82: Expanded Edition” will arrive on Oct. 17 from Sony Music, and include The E Street Band’s fabled “Electric Nebraska” sessions and solo outtakes from the era, as well as a newly shot performance film of “Nebraska” in its entirety - and a 2025 remaster of the original album. Together, they represent a wholly unprecedented look into the sonic world of this improbable lo-fi masterpiece turned enduring Springsteen classic.

“Nebraska ’82: Expanded Edition” is previewed today (Sep 4th, 2025) with a previously-unreleased version of “Born in the U.S.A” (which was originally written alongside “Nebraska”), featuring Springsteen backed by Max Weinberg and Garry Tallent, in a trio rendition from late April 1982. "We threw out the keyboards and played basically as a three-piece," Springsteen reflected. "It was kinda like punk rockabilly. We were trying to bring ‘Nebraska’ into the electric world."

In addition to “Electric Nebraska” — which features Tallent, Weinberg, Danny Federici, Roy Bittan and Stevie Van Zandt — the set’s collection of “Nebraska Outtakes” unearths Springsteen solo rarities including more songs from the original “Nebraska” home recordings (“Losin’ Kind,” “Child Bride,” “Downbound Train”) and tracks from a one-off 1982 solo studio session (“Gun In Every Home,” “On the Prowl”). Also included is a present-day performance film of the “Nebraska” album - played in sequence for the first time ever and captured at New Jersey’s Count Basie Theatre by Thom Zimny. Having never toured behind “Nebraska,” Springsteen revisits the material more than 40 years later. "I think in playing these songs again to be filmed, their weight impressed upon me,” said Springsteen. “I’ve written a lot of other narrative records, but there's just something about that batch of songs on ‘Nebraska’ that holds some sort of magic."

One week after the release of “Nebraska ’82: Expanded Edition,” the feature film "Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere" will arrive in theaters from 20th Century Studios (Oct. 24), portraying Springsteen's creative and personal journeys to the creation of "Nebraska." Directed by Scott Cooper, and adapted by Cooper from Warren Zanes' "Deliver Me From Nowhere," the film stars Jeremy Allen White as Bruce Springsteen and Jeremy Strong as his longtime manager and producer Jon Landau, alongside Stephen Graham, Odessa Young, Paul Walter Hauser, Gaby Hoffman, Marc Maron and David Krumholtz.

Pre-order “Nebraska ’82: Expanded Edition” in both 4-LP plus Blu-Ray and 4-CD plus Blu-Ray configurations.

4LP + Blu-ray: With the story behind Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska set to be explored by the feature film Deliver Me From Nowhere, Nebraska ’82: Expanded Edition (four LPs + one Blu-Ray) gathers revelatory unheard material from this prolific period including the fabled Electric Nebraska sessions with the E Street Band and solo home and studio recordings, joined by a 2025 remaster of the original album, plus a new performance film of all ten Nebraska songs played in sequence.

Springsteen’s 1982 acoustic masterwork is augmented by 17 contemporary recordings (15 previously unreleased) that were part of the groundswell of inspiration that shaped Nebraska and share its haunting themes.
