Numbered 180g 10LP Box Set (with 60-Page Book) featuring Remastered Editions of Long Out of Print/Previously Unreleased Material Issued from 1987-1996
Transferred from the Original Analogue Masters Using the Plangent Process Playback System and Remastered by Bob Ludwig and Longtime Engineer Toby Scott
Columbia Records/Legacy Recordings present The Album Collection Vol. 2, a numbered boxed set comprised of remastered material recorded and released by Bruce Springsteen for Columbia Records from 1987-1996. The long out-of-print LPs are available remastered for the first time on vinyl. In addition to The Boss' four studio albums from the era, the box set includes a special 12" of 1988's Chimes of Freedom, his 1993 2LP MTV Plugged special, and the first-ever vinyl release of the 1996 Blood Brothers EP for a total of 10 discs. All of this material comes in recreations of the original packaging, accompanied by a 60-page book featuring rarely seen photos, memorabilia and original press clippings from the period.
For The Album Collection Vol. 2, remastered albums from acclaimed engineer Bob Ludwig and Springsteen's longtime engineer Toby Scott have been pressed on vinyl for the first time. The albums were transferred from the original analogue masters using the Plangent Process playback system. 1987's Tunnel of Love and 1992's Human Touch have also been expanded across two LPs to maximize audio quality. All four of Springsteen's studio albums from this period were certified gold, platinum or multi-platinum by the RIAA, with three reaching the Top 5 of the Billboard 200. The Vol. 2 collection follows the 2014 release of The Album Collection Vol. 1, 1973-1984, which included newly remastered editions of the first seven Springsteen studio albums.
