Looks like Bruce will once again contribute to Record Store Day by putting out a rare piece of vinyl. The official list of Record Store Day releases includes a 10" version of "Wrecking Ball" / "The Ghost of Tom Joad" by Bruce Springsteen, and since a 10" disc won't fit in a CD player, this has to be a vinyl record. Most likely, the songs in question will be live versions, and while "The Ghost of Tom Joad" may be the same version released on the Magic Tour Sampler featuring Tom Morello, "Wrecking  Ball" will see its first release in a physical format. A year ago, in 2009, Bruce also pulled a surprise out of his sleeve for Record Store Day when he released "What Love Can Do" / "A Night With the Jersey Devil" as a single. Record Store Day is on April 17, but the "Wrecking Ball" single is scheduled for April 14 and can be bought at mostly independent record stores.

While we're at new releases, a mysterious 2 DVD set by Bruce Springsteen has also popped up on release schedules for April 12. The title given is Bruce Springsteen The Boss, which smells of crappy unofficial documentary with no original Bruce music included, but who knows, it could in theory be code for the much rumored Hyde Park live DVD from the Working on a Dream Tour.
