''The Lost Albums' were full records, some of them even to the point of being mixed and not released,' said Springsteen in a statement. 'I've played this music to myself and often close friends for years now. I'm glad you'll get a chance to finally hear them. I hope you enjoy them.'
Per a press release, the "lo-fi exploration of the lost album LA Garage Sessions '83 is "a crucial link" between 1982's Nebraska and 1984's Born in the U.S.A. and echoes the drum loop and synth sounds on Streets of Philadelphia Sessions.
'The ability to record at home whenever I wanted allowed me to go into a wide variety of different musical directions,' Springsteen said of his work.
Also featured in the collection is a film soundtrack for a movie that was never made, called Faithless; an LP called Inyo, which is full of "richly-woven border tales;" and an "orchestra-driven, mid-century noir" project titled Twilight Hours.
Springsteen also shared a first look at the 83-song collection with the track 'Rain In The River,' which comes from the lost album Perfect World and captures the project's "arena-ready E Street flavor."
"Last night, I put on my jacket and I went for a ride / Smelled sweet mustard fields, and my Colt at my side / Like rain in the river / Rain in the river," he sings on the track.

According to Elle, Grant showed up to the premiere with "a noticeable diamond ring" on her left ring finger," sparking "speculation that the pair might have quietly gotten engaged." It's not the first time that Grant has been spotted wearing a ring; she flashed one in April when she was photographed getting close with Reeves, Page Six reported. Reeves gushed about Grant in an interview with Entertainment Tonight in 2024 during another red carpet appearance, so the couple has been going strong for some time.

Billy Joel's first ex-wife breaks her silence more than 40 years after her divorce
Elizabeth Weber has "great" memories of her marriage to Billy Joel. The 78-year-old former business manager was married to Uptown Girl singer Billy, 76, from 1973 to 1982 and has never spoken out about their marriage until now. She told PEOPLE: "It was great then, it's great whenever I think about it, and it's great now." Elizabeth has revisited that part of her life as part of the Billy Joel: And So It Goes documentary and admitted that it was the two-parter's executive producer Steve Cohen who persuaded her to get on board. "I love Steve and I worked with him, and he's a close friend of I thought, 'Wait a second. I have a really nice life. I have a lot of privacy. I immediately [agreed]." It was then that director Susan Lacy approached Elizabeth and because she did it in such a "personal way", she admitted that the whole thing "felt right" for her to commit to. "Susan approached me in a very personal way, and it resonated with me, and Billy licensed the music, so I knew that there would be good music. "So it felt right — and it still does." Steve also noted that he and Elizabeth have a long-standing friendship and even though there was some "reluctance" for her to sign onto the documentary after such time away from the spotlight, he knew she had to do it. He said: "Elizabeth and I have a friendship that has lasted since we first met. "She was there at the very beginning when I got hired, and...I will tell you, there was reluctance in the beginning because she's been out of the public eye and she's been maligned incredibly in the blogosphere. Following his marriage to Elizabeth, Billy went on to tie the knot with model Christie Brinkley in 1985 and has Alexa, 39, with her but they split a year later. He was then married to author Katie Lee from 2004 until 2009 but then tied the knot with Alexis Roderick in 2015 and has daughters Della and Remy with her.
