Well, everybody’s got a secret, sonny….

Here’s an update on the Darkness On The Edge Of Town reissue that’s slated to hit stores this fall. E Street guitarist Steve Van Zandt tells a UK radio station (don’t ask us which one): “We put 10 or so outtakes on the [1998] ‘Tracks’ box set and we [have since] found 10 more. I’m not sure how many we’ll put on there. We’ll go back and he might finish a lyric on one or two, or finish a harmony on one or two, but we’ll keep them intact pretty much.”

Finish a lyric or two? That sounds ambitious. Possible outtakes include “Because The Night,” “Fire,” “This Little Girl,” and songs from The River in their earliest forms.

In the meantime, fans can tide themselves over with the monumentally impressive London Calling DVD, which features nearly three hours of the Boss and the E Street Band in their fiery prime.
