Springsteen's entire catalog up to 1984 is going to be released in November. The rest of the catalog in 2015.
The Plangent Process was used to transfer the tapes.
-CD Box Set
-Vinyl cut from digital masters (Sorry vinyl hipsters)
-HD Downloads (24/96)
Most of the first batch have been available on iTunes for quite some time now.
No DSD Mutha Funkers....let's bury that BS right now..and these are Sony owned titles. DSD Revolution? What a joke.
This is a must read article folks:

Glad I'm not a Springsteen fan. Regardless of what they start with, it's going to be aimed at half-deaf almost senior citizens and half deaf iPodder's.
How do you come to that conclusion??????
Great! That means I will be able to get the CDs for cheap!

Excellent read- very informative. This type stuff fascinates me.
Bob Ludwig talked a good game about the Loudness Wars..let's hope he really followed through..although reviews of the iTunes downloads report good DR.
He did more than talk. Thanks to work by him, Thomas Lund, George Massenberg, Bob Katz, Doug Sax, and many others, the volume normalization algorithms on almost all cloud services and iTunes make severely compressed recordings sound weak, puny, distant, and generally lousy. As the over-compression was done to make music stand out on the radio (and when streaming/downloaded) implementing the various normalization standards has removed that impetus.
Still, music mastered for playback on ipods with earbuds will target less dynamic range than CD, SACD, or downloadable wav or flac files, which is probably how it should be.

"A man need merely light the filaments of his receiving set and the world's greatest artists will perform for him." Alfred N. Goldsmith, RCA, 1922
That may be true, but surprisingly some of his recent remasters have been shockingly compressed..the Queen catalog comes to mind.But in general I am fan of his work, along with Grundman, Sax, Lursen, Hoffman, and others.

Shame it is not being released on SACD.
Yes, but we have to end this DSD fantasy. You cannot due any significant forensic tape work in DSD.
DSD is being bypassed for most if not all major label projects. It is the domain of boutique labels.
Ironically, the Bruce project is a Sony production. pathetic, since they they tried to float this bullshit about "DSD 2.0".
