Bruce Spreengsteen

Ed's new release today is a collection of songs he wrote and recorded as demos over the last 20 years. Ed never wrote a song he didn't mean, so these are honest songs that we are fortunate he took the time to record. American songwriter, artist, and actor Ed Bruce maintained a successful career for more than four decades. The songs he wrote and sang are legendary, “Mamas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys”, “After All,” “Girls, Women, and Ladies,” “When You Fall In Love, Everything’s A Waltz and My First Taste Of Texas are just a few of the self-penned hit songs by this great artist. Ed was born in Keiser, Arkansas, on December 29, 1939. While still very young, his family moved across the river to Memphis, and he claimed Tennessee as his home. Ed started writing songs in his early teens and, in 1957 while a senior in high school, he signed his first record deal with the hometown label, legendary Sun Records.

The December 13, 1992 Boston Garden show came in the midst of the Bruce Springsteen 1992–1993 World Tour, which saw The Boss hitting the road for the first time without the E Street Band (save for keyboardist Roy Bittan). Bruce had dissolved the band in 1989 and recorded the 1992 companion albums Human Touch and Lucky Town, of which the tour was in support, without his famed backing group.

Bruce Springsteen once said he intended to make an album with words like Bob Dylan that sounded like Phil Spector where he sang like Roy Orbison, a nifty summary of many, but not all, of his artistic ambitions and a key to his appeal. Unlike any other singer/songwriters saddled with the appellation of "the new Dylan" in the early '70s, Springsteen never hid how he was raised on '60s AM radio. He loved rock & roll, whether it was the initial blast from the '50s or the mini-symphonies from the days before the Beatles or the garage rockers that surfaced in the wake of the British Invasion, and all this could be heard within his wild, wooly collective E Street Band, a group who debuted on his second album, 1973's The Wild The Innocent & The E Street Shuffle, and who would support him throughout most of his career.

Recorded live at Madison Square Garden, November 7, 2009.

Chapter and Verse is the audio companion to Bruce Springsteen's autobiography, Born to Run, arriving in bookstores in September 2016. Springsteen selected the songs on Chapter and Verse to reflect the themes and sections of 'Born to Run'. The compilation begins with two tracks from The Castiles, featuring a teenaged Springsteen on guitar and vocals, and ends with the title track from 2012's Wrecking Ball. Five of the album's eighteen tracks are previously unreleased. The collected songs trace Springsteen's musical history from its earliest days, telling a story that parallels the one in the book, and is a must for any Bruce Springsteen fan.

Bruce Springsteen's campaign to issue classic concerts from his archives now has its fourth offering - he is released the New Year's Eve show from the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, N.Y.

Bruce Springsteen released a live archival recording of an E Street Band concert from C.W. Post College in Greenvale, New York on December 12, 1975.

Deluxe two CD / two multi-region Blu-ray edition of the classic album by Jack Bruce. Songs For A Tailor was Jack Bruce's first solo project to be released after the demise of Cream in November 1968. Eager to make his debut solo album distinctly diverse from the music he had recorded with Cream, it featured music which stylistically drew on jazz, folk, classical and rock influences. Joining Jack and producer Felix Pappalardi for the recording sessions at London's Morgan Studios were some of Britain's best musicians such as Chris Spedding, Jon Hiseman, Dick Heckstall-Smith, John Marshall, Art Themen and Henry Lowther. One session was also notable for the presence of George Harrison. 'Songs For A Tailor' was a chart success in both the UK and the USA and is now rightly regarded as a masterpiece and one of Jack's seminal works. This boxed set edition features the original 1969 album mix (newly remastered from the original master tapes), along with wonderful new stereo and 5.1 Surround sound mixes of the album by Stephen W Tayler (from the original 8-track master tapes) and previously unreleased session out-takes and demos. The set also includes the marvellous 1970 documentary Rope Ladder to the Moon on Blu Ray video for the first time. Originally screened by the BBC, this film features live performances and an insight into Jack's heritage, life and influences.
