Racing In the Street #1 Alternate version with harpAt 3 a.m. on May 28, 1977, a final settlement was reached in the infamous Bruce Springsteen vs. Mike Appel lawsuit.Though details of the settlement were never officially released, a."supposed" amicable settlement had been reached and the parties were barred from ever suing one another again.Less than a week later, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band entered Atlantic Records'new studio in Manhattan to begin recording what would eventually become "Darkness on the Edge of Town."With Jon Landau at the helm and engineer Jimmy [ovine also participating, initial sessions seemed to proceed smoothly.Dave Marsh claims that the first evening saw Bruce lay down no less than twenty demos of songs he had written during the lawsuit,including the already performed live tracks "Rendezvous," "Frankie," "The Promise," and "Something in the Night,"plus several tracks destined to wind up on "Darkness," including the title track, and other unreleased tunes such as"Don't Look Back." Indeed, Columbia was so confident that Bruce and Landau could record quickly that planswere laid for a holiday release of the new LP. This was not to be, as the sessions at Atlantic ran into trouble.The June-August sessions at Atlantic began to deteriorate for a number of reasons. Apparently,Bruce was unhappy with the drum sound and the studio was not very comfortable,which was an important consideration when it became apparent that the sessions would be continuing for many more months.Eventually, the sessions relocated to the Record Plant, where "Born to Run" was made.The 15 songs on this CD were recorded during the Atlantic sessions of June through August 1977.of the 15, four would end up on the official release, and only then in drastically different incarnations.Seven tracks - "one Way Street," "Don't Look Back (inst.)," "Frankie," "Candy's Boy," "The Fast Song (inst.),""The Promise" and "Get That Feeling," still remain in the vaults. Two others - "Fire" and "Talk to Me"(with lyrics) - were given to the Pointer Sisters and Southside Johnny, respectively."Drive All Night" would find its way onto "The River" in much different form.The first two versions of this track are presented here.Most of the tracks included here are seeing the light of day for the first time in collecting circles.The quality on these tracks represents a substantial improvement over previously circulated outtakes from these sessions and, along with its companion piece CD "Rattling the Chains," is the definitive collection of outtakes from "Darkness on the Edge of Town."
