This second volume in the {$Bruce Springsteen} {^Collection} (wherein {@Sony} repackages three albums in one box) is rather troubling given its selections. There is the sublime {^Nebraska}, {$Springsteen}'s first solo album, and a recording of stripped-down haunting tracks. But also included are {^Lucky Town} (why it wasn't packaged with its simultaneously released partner {^Human Touch} is a mystery), and the utterly forgettable Springsteen {^In Concert} from the {^Human Touch}/{^Lucky Town} tour (which admittedly does have a few good moments in performances of older material like {&"Thunder Road"} and {&"Darkness on the Edge of Town"}). Why not have put those three related records in one set? {@Sony} knows why: because they are all inferior to the rest of his catalog. {^Nebraska}, as fine as it is, is the only reason for purchasing this, but why do so when you can go out and buy it on its own for around $10.00? {^Lucky Town} has its moments, but doesn't hold together as an album, and {^In Concert} was an utterly unnecessary move to begin with. ~ Thom Jurek, All Music Guide
