 ÊÌ   2 X NEW SPRINGSTEEN ALBUMSÉË        
------------------------------------
Èby ÊTOMMYÈ


ÉBruce  "The  Boss"  SpringsteenÈ fans
can  look  forward  to  around April
this   year.   At  about  that  time
Springsteen  will  release, not only
one,  but  two new albums !  Titles:
É"Human   Torch"È  and É "Lucky  Town".
ÈAlready in the first week of March a
single  will  be  released  and "The
Boss" also plans a gigantic tour!


It's  been  along  time  since we've
heard   anything   from   him,  more
precisely   Autumn   1987   when  he
released É "Tunnel Of Love"È, followed
by a world-tour in 1988.

Both   albums   will   be   released
simultaneously  and they are told to
be  quite different from each other.
The  rumours about a new LP has come
and  gone  these past two years, but
except   from  producing  two  kids,
Springsteen  have  been  very quiet.
But   he   has   nevertheless   been
working,   because   "Human   Torch"
includes 14 new tracks, while "Lucky
Town"  contains 10.  The single will
probably  be  the  title-track  from
"Human Torch".
ÊONE YEAR IN STUDIO
È
"Human Torch" is Bruce Springsteen's
10th  album and is recorded during a
period  of  one  year  in  different
studios  in  Los  Angeles,  where he
lives  together  with his wife Patti
Scialfa.     Producers   are   Bruce
himself, Jon Landau (manager), Chuck
Plotkin and E-Street Band-member Roy
Bittan.   Last-mentioned is the only
one    from   the   old   band   who
contributes.

The   rock-star   has   also  rented
several   famous  musicians:   Randy
Jackson (bass), Jeff Porcaro (drums,
Ex-Toto).  Mark Isham plays trumpet,
while  David Sancious contributes on
the  keyboard  in  addition  to  the
main-musician  on  this  instrument,
Roy  Bittan.   Springsteen  plays of
course  guitar  and  Bobby Hatfield,
Bobby  King,  Sam  Moore  and  Patti
Scialfa help with the vocals.

Ê
NEW TWIST ?
È
"Lucky       Town"      will      be
Springsteen-album     number     11,
recorded  in  his  home-studio.  The
last time he recorded at home was in
1982,   when É "Nebraska"È  was  made.
"Nebraska"  was  surprisingly simple
and  gloomy.   Will  he  do the same
twist this year ?

Roy  Bittan,  Randy Jackson and Gary
Mallaber  (drums)  are  musicians on
"Lucky  Town",  while  Lisa  Lowell,
Patti   Scialfa  and  Soozie  Tyrell
contributes  on  vocals.   Producers
are the same as on "Human Torch"


We  mark  our calenders in April and
look  forward  to albums of the same
sort as É"Born In The USA"È.
