Bruce Springsteen – Nebraska 82: Expanded Edition (4-LP Vinyl, 1 Blue-ray)
Product Details
Nebraska arrived in September 1982 as one of rock's great left turns, a stark solo acoustic record that Springsteen famously recorded on a Teac 144 Portastudio in his Colts Neck, New Jersey bedroom. The demos were never meant to be the album, but the rawness proved impossible to top. For decades, fans have wondered what happened in the sessions where the E Street Band attempted to flesh these songs out, and now that question finally has an answer.

Nebraska ’82: Expanded Edition is a five-disc retrospective of Springsteen’s groundbreaking album, featuring unheard artifacts from the mythicized era alongside new recordings. The collection’s coveted centerpiece is Electric Nebraska, recorded with the full band of Springsteen, Garry Tallent, Max Weinberg, Danny Federici, Roy Bittan, and Stevie Van Zandt at New York’s Power Station in 1982. The 8-track session features electrified, expansive takes on the bulk of the original tracklist, plus the previously unheard outtake “Downbound Train” and a roaring early version of “Born in the U.S.A.” recorded by a stripped-down trio of Springsteen, Weinberg and Tallent.
“We threw out the keyboards and played basically as a three-piece,” Springsteen reflected on the long-vaulted version of one of his signature songs, released today to preview the collection. “It was kinda like punk rockabilly. We were trying to bring Nebraska into the electric world.”
