Bruce Springsteens Nebraska will be explored with more context and depth than ever before this fall, with the release of a five-disc box set featuring many never-before-heard and previously-undiscovered recordings. Nebraska 82: Expanded Edition will arrive on Oct. 17 from Sony Music, and include The E Street Bands fabled Electric Nebraska sessions and solo outtakes from the era, as well as a newly shot performance film of Nebraska in its entirety – and a 2025 remaster of the original album. Together, they represent a wholly unprecedented look into the sonic world of this improbable lo-fi masterpiece turned enduring Springsteen classic.

Nebraska 82: Expanded Edition is previewed today (Sep 4th, 2025) with a previously-unreleased version of Born in the U.S.A (which was originally written alongside Nebraska), featuring Springsteen backed by Max Weinberg and Garry Tallent, in a trio rendition from late April 1982. “We threw out the keyboards and played basically as a three-piece,” Springsteen reflected. “It was kinda like punk rockabilly. We were trying to bring Nebraska into the electric world.”

In addition to Electric Nebraska which features Tallent, Weinberg, Danny Federici, Roy Bittan and Stevie Van Zandt the sets collection of Nebraska Outtakes unearths Springsteen solo rarities including more songs from the original Nebraska home recordings (Losin Kind, Child Bride, Downbound Train) and tracks from a one-off 1982 solo studio session (Gun In Every Home, On the Prowl). Also included is a present-day performance film of the Nebraska album – played in sequence for the first time ever and captured at New Jerseys Count Basie Theatre by Thom Zimny. Having never toured behind Nebraska, Springsteen revisits the material more than 40 years later. “I think in playing these songs again to be filmed, their weight impressed upon me, said Springsteen. Ive written a lot of other narrative records, but there’s just something about that batch of songs on Nebraska that holds some sort of magic.”

One week after the release of Nebraska 82: Expanded Edition, the feature film “Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere” will arrive in theaters from 20th Century Studios (Oct. 24), portraying Springsteen’s creative and personal journeys to the creation of “Nebraska.” Directed by Scott Cooper, and adapted by Cooper from Warren Zanes‘ “Deliver Me From Nowhere,” the film stars Jeremy Allen White as Bruce Springsteen and Jeremy Strong as his longtime manager and producer Jon Landau, alongside Stephen Graham, Odessa Young, Paul Walter Hauser, Gaby Hoffman, Marc Maron and David Krumholtz.

Pre-order Nebraska 82: Expanded Edition in both 4-LP plus Blu-Ray and 4-CD plus Blu-Ray configurations.
