The career-spanning compilation will feature 18 tracks, five of which have not been previously released.
The album opens with two tracks from The Castiles, featuring a teenage Springsteen on guitar and vocals, and ends with the title track from 2012’s Wrecking Ball.
The collected songs trace Springsteen’s musical history from its earliest days, telling a story that parallels the one in the book.
Barry Gibb, last surviving member of the hit trio the Bee Gees, which also featured his brothers Robin and Maurice, is about to release a new album. He turns 69 next Thursday.
Columbia Records has announced the Grammy Awardwinning singer, songwriter and producer will release In The Now, on October 7.
Barry’s first album with the label is produced by him and John Merchant. It marks only the second solo effort of Gibb’s career and his first album of all-new material since the Bee Gees’ final studio album in 2001.
The 12-track album was recorded in Miami with the same gathering of accomplished musicians Gibb assembled for his acclaimed 2014 solo tour.
Metallica release their first album in eight years, Hard-wired … to Self Destruct, on November 18. The follow-up to 2008’s Death Magnetic, the collection will feature two discs offering nearly 80 minutes of music.
Produced by Greg Fidelman, it marks the band’s 11th studio album and is available for pre-order in a variety of configurations, including 12 songs on a double CD, vinyl, digital download, as well as a deluxe version with the riffs that were the origins of the album.
Anyone who pre-orders the album through Metallica.com will receive an instant download of the song Hardwired.
Still talking hard rock, note that AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd is set to release a solo album, Head Job, on September 30.
Rudd, who has appeared on all but three of AC/DC’s 18 studio albums, which have sold more than 200 million copies, recorded and released Head Job, his solo debut album, with Kiwi musicians Allan Badger and Geoffrey Martin, in 2014.
The album was released via Universal Music Group in Australia and New Zealand, but further promotional plans were scuppered by wellpublicised legal problems in New Zealand.
Rudd then served an eight-month home detention sentence which thwarted the 2014 release of Head Job, but 2016 sees him determined to leave his problems in the past, according to his record company spokesman.
He has embraced a more positive lifestyle and says his hell-raising days are over. “I see a psychiatrist once a week and I’m closer than ever to my children. I still have all my flash cars, but now I want to grow chillies,” Rudd is on record as having said.
Rudd is scheduled to visiting the UK and Europe at the end of September to promote the re-release of the Head Job album.
