Overview

• Recorded over two days at New York’s Record Plant in May 1975, the song was strongly considered for the album but ultimately left off.
• An early rough mix circulated after SiriusXM’s E Street Radio aired it in 2005, making this the first sanctioned, high-quality release.
• The new credits list Steve Van Zandt and Ron Aniello on guitar, indicating recent overdubs while retaining Springsteen’s 1975 vocal.
• The release includes rare images from Eric Meola’s sessions for the iconic Born to Run cover shoot.
• It follows June’s Tracks II set of seven previously unreleased albums, and Springsteen has said a completed Tracks III spans 1973–2024 with five albums of vault material.
