    This sounds pretty promising ... :cool:

    According to the Sony approval memo found in the Wikileaks papers (the Sony hack) Springsteen will also be delivering box sets of “The River,” “Nebraska,” “Born in the USA,” second box set of “Tracks,” as well as greatest hits. He retains the right to sell his downloads of his live concerts himself or through another party if he pays Columbia 12.5% of the gross receipts. And he owns his own master recordings.

    All he had to say was "or I go to Warners" and the deal was done.

    he'd have to sell an enormous amount of product for Sony to make a nickel on this deal.

    Really. All his fans are going to be dead or deaf before that contact runs out.

    His fans in Europe are 10-15 years younger and buy everything he puts out.

    I wanted to let people know of a side-note. A rumor starting to make the rounds is that Bruce is going into the mixing phase of his next album. I hope the rumor has some legs behind it.

    I would rather see some of those box sets come to fruition.

    Well, me too as well. But as fans, we also have to progress along with Bruce's career as it marches forward. It's not the old days, but I'm still glad the guy is still around to do this.
