The limited-edition, numbered boxed set comprises of material recorded and released by Bruce Springsteen for Columbia Records between 1987 and 1993. The long out-of-print LPs are available remastered for the first time on vinyl. In addition to Springsteen's four studio albums from the era, the boxed set includes a special 12" of 1988's live EP Chimes Of Freedom, Springsteen's 1993 two-LP In Concert / MTV Plugged live album, and the first-ever vinyl release of the 1996 Blood Brothers EP for a total of 10 discs. All of this material comes in recreations of the original packaging, accompanied by an exclusive 60-page book featuring rarely seen photos, memorabilia and original press clippings from the period. A certificate of authenticity and digital download voucher of the remastered audio files are also included in the box set.
For this release, remastered albums from acclaimed engineer Bob Ludwig and Springsteen's longtime engineer Toby Scott have been pressed on vinyl for the first time. The albums were transferred from the original analogue masters using the Plangent Process playback system. 1987's Tunnel Of Love and 1992's Human Touch have also been expanded across two LPs to maximize audio quality. While the four newly-remastered LPs will later be sold individually, the Chimes Of Freedom and Blood Brothers EP's will remain exclusive to this box set.
The Album Collection Vol. 2, 1987-1996 follows the 2014 release of The Album Collection Vol. 1, 1973-1984, which included newly remastered editions of the first seven Bruce Springsteen studio albums. According to Backstreets.com, a concurrent digital-only release will tie up some loose ends, gathering B-sides and live tracks from '90s singles that had yet to be made available on digital platforms to date.
