The Promise [3LP] Vinyl
Out of stock. Get notified when available.
Bruce Springsteen’s The Promise is a treasure trove for fans who thought they knew everything about Darkness on the Edge of Town. This 3LP set isn’t just an album - it’s a deep dive into the creative vaults of The Boss, revealing 21 previously unreleased tracks from the legendary 1976-78 sessions.
Across the sides, you’ll find gems like Because the Night (yes, the one Patti Smith made famous), the soulful Someday (We’ll Be Together), and the aching beauty of The Promise, the track that gives this collection its name. These songs aren’t just leftovers - they’re fully realized pieces that could have been on the original album, but were left behind as Bruce shaped the darker, starker Darkness.
The sound here is classic E Street Band - sweeping pianos, triumphant horns, and Bruce’s gravelly voice at its storytelling peak. There’s swagger in Talk to Me, longing in Ain’t Good Enough for You, and raw vulnerability in Breakaway. The sequencing makes the whole experience feel like discovering a “lost” Springsteen record.
Pressed on three heavyweight LPs, this set is a must for collectors and newcomers alike. Whether you fell in love with Born to Run or just want to hear the connective tissue between Bruce’s mid-70s masterpieces, The Promise is exactly that - a promise fulfilled.
