After years of speculation and fan clamoring, Bruce Springsteen finally releases Friday “Tracks II: The Lost Albums,” an expansive seven-album box set and sequel to 1998’s “Tracks,” comprising decades of music — most of which is previously unheard by even the most devout Spring-nuts.

On “Tracks II,” there are 83 songs on seven full albums recorded between 1983 to 2018. It's a mix of rockers, relationship tracks and haunting gems.

The Bruce Springsteen Archives and Center for American Music is hosting the advance listening session for “Tracks II: The Lost Albums” at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Pollak Theater on the campus of Monmouth University in West Long Branch.
