BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN The Promise - Darkness On The Edge Of
Town Story (2010 UK Deluxe Edition 6-disc [3CD/3DVD] set -
This extraordinary deluxe package features nearly six hours
of film and more than two hours of audio across 3 CDs and 3
DVDs. Comprising 'Darkness On The Edge Of Town', digitally
remastered for the first time, as well as the 2-CD 'The
Promise' set featuring a collection of previously unreleased
songs from the 'Darkness' recording sessions. The set also
features 'The Promise: The Making of 'Darkness on the Edge
of Town', a documentary directed by Grammy and
Emmy-winning filmmaker Thom Zimny. The ninety-minute film
combines never-before-seen footage of Springsteen and the E
Street Band shot between 1976 and 1978, including home
rehearsals and studio sessions with new interviews with
Springsteen, E Street Band members, manager Jon Landau,
former-manager Mike Appel, and others closely involved in
the making of the record. In addition, the set features more
than four hours of live concert film from the Thrill Hill Vault,
including the bootleg house cut [the footage that appeared
on-screen at the concert] from a 1978 Houston show, and a
2009 performance of 'Darkness On The Edge Of Town' in its
entirety from Asbury Park. The special performance in Asbury
Park was shot in HD without an audience and successfully
recreates the stark atmosphere of the original album. All six
discs are housed within a 80-page spiral-bound notebook
containing facsimiles from Springsteen's original notebooks
from the recording sessions, which include alternate lyrics,
song ideas, recording details, and personal notes in addition
to a new essay by Springsteen on the album and
never-before-seen photographs, with an outer slipcase. Other
than some glue marks at the back, from the listing sheet, this
copy is in Near Mint condition!)
