Finally the tension is relieved. The final track listing of Tracks 1972-98 is here. Even though we're still waiting for the official press released, we can now present the contents of the upcoming box set: CD1 (Hammond Demos 1972) Mary Queen of Arkansas Saint in the City Growin Up Does This Bus Stop (1973-74) Bishop Dance Hey Santa Anna Seaside Bar Song Zero And Blind Terry Linda Lrt Me Be the One Thundercrack (Darkness 1977-78) Rendezvous Give the Girl A Kiss The Iceman Bring on the Night So Young and In Love Hearts of Stone Don't Look Back CD2 (The River 1979-80) Restless Nights A Good Man is Hard To Find Roulette Doll House Where the Bands Are Loose Ends Living on the Edge of the World Wages of Sin Take 'Em As They Come Be True Rickie Wants A Man I Wanna Be With You Mary Lou Stolen Car (Born in the USA/Nebraska 1982-84) Born in the USA (acoustic) Johnny By By Shut Out the Light CD3 Cynthia My Love Will Not Let You Down This Hard Land Frankie TV Movie Stand On It Lion's Den Car Wash Rockaway the Days Brothers Under the Bridges Man At the Top Pink Cadillac (1985-95 - when exactly the rest of the songs are from is hard to tell since most of them are previously unknown) Two For the Road Janey Don't Lose Heart When You need Me The Wish The Honeymooners Lucky Man CD4 Leavin' Train Seven Angels Give It A Name Sad Eyes My Lover Man Over the Rise When the Lights Go Out Loose Change Trouble in Paradise Happy Part Man, Part Monkey Goin' Cali Back in Your Arms Brothers Under the Bridges '95 What should be noted first and foremost is the inclusion of more than 20 tracks whose existance haven't even been rumored before. On the negative side, where is "The Promise"? A song that fans have been begging for since it was first performed live in 1976. Perhaps there will be room for it as a b-side on one of the singles which will be released from the box. But let's not dwell on what's missing. Most of the songs that should be there are there, such as "Frankie", "Thundercrack", "Back in Your Arms", "Loose Ends" and others. All in all, this whole project is still almost too good to be true and now we just have to wait until it's released... probably November 16th in the States and November 17th in Europe.
