Another snag from usenet, this time it's Unsatisfied Heart - Remastered Born in the USA Outtakes. This set seems especially cool, in that it's a qualitatively different album that eventually begat Born in the USA. From the text notes that accompanied this set: "By July 1983 Springsteen was in the final stages of mixing and track selection for the album. There was talk of a pre-Christmas release. There was certainly no shortage of outstanding material to pick from. A document exists from mid 1983 revealing Springsteen’s selection for the album, as well his selections for b-sides. (reproduced below)"
Born in the USA never gets as much love or respect as Born to Run or his other 70s albums. I blame MTV and videos in general. You can't help but lose some mystique when you start playing dressup and lip-syncing in front of a camera, not just Bruce, but any of them actually (except, of course, "Bastards of Young"). If you flipped this album back 10 years it might be considered as great as some of the others.
