Bruce Springsteen's long awaited autobiography, Born To Run, which will be released on his birthday (September 23), will now have a companion CD called Chapter and Verse released as well. The CD contains 18 tracks, including some very intriguing choices for diehard fans such as "Baby I" written by Springsteen and George Theiss, which was the first recording by The Castiles. It will also contain "He's Guilty (The Judge Song)" by Springsteen's legendary band, Steel Mill. Other tracks span his career from the original demos for Columbia Records to some of his most popular songs. All total, the cd contains 5 unreleased songs.
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. The collected songs trace Springsteen's musical history from its earliest days, telling a story that parallels the one in the book.
Recordings from Steel Mill and The Bruce Springsteen Band feature musicians who would go on to play in The E Street Band. Solo demos of "Henry Boy" and "Growin' Up" were cut in 1972 shortly before Springsteen began recording his debut album, Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J.
Chapter and Verse will be available as a single CD and double LP, as well as via digital download and streaming. The package will include lyrics and rare photos.
