Sony repackage classic Springsteen, Hall & Oates and Judas Priest sets

This September Sony will reissue three classic box sets from their archive, in compact ‘bookset’ packaging.

Bruce Springsteen‘s Tracks is one of the sets in question. This 66-song collection was originally released back in 1998 and consists of many unreleased tracks, demos and alternates. It came packaged in the old-style long, tall box. A highlights album 18 Tracks was later released, with the record company deploying the fan-fleecing tactic of including three songs on the single disc edition not included in the box set (Trouble River, The Fever, and The Promise).

The Do What You Want, Be What You Are collection from Hall and Oates is the ‘baby’ of these reissues, being only four years old. The four disc box set is filled to the brim with content, and features 18 previously unreleased recordings, rare seven-inch single mixes and choice album cuts amongst the 77 tracks. Respected engineer Vic Anesini mastered this release, so you can expect decent audio.

Finally, the third box being reissued by Sony is Metalogy, from Judas Priest. This is actually the third iteration of this particular set, having been originally issued in semi-lavish packaging in 2004. A bonus DVD made it a five disc set back then, but the Live Vengeance ’82 DVD was was dispensed with for the 2008 reissue. This new version maintains the four-CD approach and as you would expect, comes in the ‘bookset’ packaging just like Springsteen and Hall & Oates.

The all-important booklets are maintained, being bound to the middle of each package. These are all released on 23 September and will retail for around £18 in the UK. Full track listings at the bottom of this post.
