Columbia Records/Legacy Recordings release "Bruce Springsteen: The Album Collection Vol. 2 1987-1996", a Limited Edition, Numbered boxed set comprised of material recorded and released by Springsteen for Columbia Records during that period. 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 1998's live EP 'Chimes of Freedom' (exclusive to this set), Springsteen's 1993 2LP 'MTV Plugged' special, and the first-ever vinyl release of the 1996 'Blood Brothers' EP (exclusive to this set) for a total of 10 discs. All of this material comes in recreations of the original packaging accompanied by a 60-page book featuring rarely seen photos, memorabilia and original press clippings from the period.
For 'The Album Collection Vol. 2', 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, noted for its ability to correct pitch errors and distortions in the magnetic tape, ensuring the best possible quality versions of these albums. 1987's Tunnel of Love and 1992's Human Touch have also been expanded across two LPs to maximize audio quality.
All four of Bruce Springsteen's studio albums from this period were certified gold, platinum or multiplatinum by the RIAA, with three reaching the Top 5 of the Billboard 200. The Vol. 2 collection follows the 2014 release of Bruce Springsteen: The Album Collection Vol. 1, 1973-1984 which included newly remastered editions of the first seven Bruce Springsteen studio albums.
