"Beyond his insightful introductory note, Bruce Springsteen elected not to annotate the 66 songs included on Tracks. However, with the release of the box set, he did give an unprecedented number of interviews to publications like Billboard and MOJO which revealed fascinating background details about these songs, how he chose them, and why they were left off of the albums in the first place. Over the last 19 years that this magazine has been published, the editors of Backstreets have attempted to catalog Springsteen's recording and performance history from a fan’s perspective, albeit at times an obsessive one. This booklet takes a comprehensive look at all 66 songs on Tracks by presenting some of Springsteen's own comments about the material in context with each track's researched history (correcting a few Tracks typos along the way) and the editors' contemporary analysis. It is in no way intended to replace the Tracks booklet, nor is it meant as our statement as to what kind of liner notes should have been included in Tracks. In the purest sense of the word it is a supplement, one which we hope will broaden our readers' understanding and interest in 66 fascinating songs recorded over 27 years. If Tracks itself presented 'the alternate route,' consider this booklet the alternate road map." -- The Editors of Backstreets

Bin jetzt erst dazu gekommen, mir das zu Gemüte zu fühlen. Vieles hat man im Laufe der Jahre auf die ein oder andere Weise mitbekommen, aber vor allem in dieser kompakten Form ist das seit langem mal wieder eine echte Bereicherung, was Hintergründe zu Springsteens Song betrifft. Eine Schande eigentlich, dass Backstreets das so lange ungenutzt hat rumliegen lassen.

war irgendwann mal irgendwo in Papierform zu bekommen

Habe das eben gerade auch erst gefunden, kann Ragman da nur zustimmen. Sehr interesant, hab esmir gleich mal ausgedruckt.
Danke!
