A Swedish newspaper quotes a local Sony executive that the upcoming box set will only consist of four CDs rather than the six that have hitherto been reported Even with only four CDs there will still be room for upwards 80 songs according to the Swedish source. A little calculation confirms this. With room for about 77 minutes of music on each CD, four CDs with 80 songs should give an average of 3,8 minutes per song, which sounds likely for Bruce. Still, let's hope this source is wrong and that we will get the six CDs we already saved up for. Speaking of the box, rumors say that it will get the title Tracks and thus be closely connected with the big book of lyrics also due this fall which will be called Songs. May we suggest a set of five home videos called Shows. If you're waiting for news about a possible E Street Band tour, every music news source worthy of the name, printed or online (plus Howard Stern!), has mentioned it, but it seems they got the information from fan-based sources like this one. Other sources have taken on the roles of spoilsports by suggesting that the various members of the E Street Band might not even be interested. Let's not listen to those.
