Bruce Springsteen has released ‘Lonely Night In The Park’, an outtake from ‘Born To Run’ to mark the album’s 50th anniversary.
The never-before-released track was recorded during the sessions for the classic 1975 album in New York City’s Record Plant with producer Jon Landau, but was left off the final album’s tracklist at the last minute.
‘Lonely Night In The Park’ was briefly played in rotation on the Bruce Springsteen-dedicated SiriusXM radio station in 2005 but has otherwise never been available to the public.
As reported in the book Down Thunder Road: The Making Of Bruce Springsteen by Mike Appel, who also worked on the album, Landau fought to include the song on the album in place of ‘Meeting Across The River’, but was unsuccessful.
“There was a lot of good music left,” he added, before sharing that the material in ‘Tracks III’ will date back to the time he shared his 1973 debut ‘Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J.’, all the way up to 2024. (NME)
