Darkness on the Edge of Town gets expanded reissue

DARKNESS BECOMES HIM: Bruce Springsteen is rolling out a deluxe version of his classic 1978 disc Darkness on the Edge of Town this fall, RollingStone.com reports. According to Steve Van Zandt, the set will feature at least 10 outtakes. Said Little Steven in an interview with a U.K. radio station, "We're doing a little bit of fixes on some Darkness on the Edge of Town outtakes, which is going to be a really fun reissue coming for Christmas." Much like the Rolling Stones’ recent Exile on Main Street reissue, the expanded LP will likely include new vocals on old material. "I'm not sure how many we'll put on there,” Van Zandt said. “We'll go back and he might finish a lyric on one or two, or finish a harmony on one or two, but we'll keep them intact pretty much."
