Review: Bruce Springsteen - Chapter and Verse


The Boss releases his latest album, a collection of his biggest hits, design to accompany his autobiography. Fans of Springsteen will lap this up, especially because it starts with five previously unreleased early tracks that are as raw as you could imagine in contrast to his more polished later work.

Elsewhere the big tracks all appear from 'Born to Run' to 'Born In The USA' plus personal favourite 'Brilliant Disguise', all the way up chronologically to 2012's 'Wrecking Ball'. It's not a comprehensive collection though. There's no 'Streets of Philadelphia' for instance.

Lesser fans may get more out of 2013's 'Collection: 1973–2012' which is more of a singles collection but fans will enjoy this mixture of big hitters and unfamiliar early material. (6.5/10)
