All tracks have been digitally mastered using HDCD technology. "The Promise" was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance and Best Rock Song. This single-disc sampler was put together in deference to Springsteen fans unprepared to shell out the cash for the TRACKS box set. It features many of the key tracks from the box, illuminating the Boss's career beyond the official album cuts. From the infectious, good-humored "Part Man, Part Monkey" to the rock & roll anthem "Where the Bands Are" and the chilling acoustic version of "Born in the U.S.A," 18 TRACKS is Springsteen at his best. The prolific songwriter has always come up with way too much material for whatever album he was working on, and the cuts left over are never less than top-notch. Thus, 18 TRACKS (not to mention its parent box set) is no collection of cast-offs. Rather, it's an alternate, equally compelling history of the quintessential American rock & roller. As an added inducement, there are bonus tracks here that don't appear on the box, included the beloved "The Promise" and "The Fever."

Report this review 18 Tracks- Bruce SpringsteenReview created: 01/03/08 by: I had been looking for this CD for quite a while. The previous one I had was cracked. I was shocked to find this on E-Bay because it is not in the stores anymore. When it came it was brand new and still in the original plastic. I now shop E-Bay for the items I used to go to the store for. Can't beat the convenience or the prices. The items I have ordered have been received within a couple days of the auction completion. It doesn't get any better. Review ID: 10000000004956054 Was this review helpful? Report this review BRUCE FANS NEED THISReview created: 03/05/07 by: Could not find this in the stores anymore.

Report this review   Worth it for 2 songs!Review created: 01/05/00 by: joe.giglio -- a member of Epinions Pros: at least 2 great Songs Cons: too pricy For those of us who are true Bruce Springsteen fans (being from New Jersey is a plus!), this album is a must have. If you are not ready to buy the entire box set, this is a good sampler. The two songs that make this a must have are "The Fever" and "The Promise". "Fever" is a wonderful example of a song from Bruce and the band that dives into a slightly different genre than usual, with a delightful blues-sy feel. It is quite long and features Clarence Clemons (need I say more?). The reason for buying this record is "The Promise", Bruce's follow-up to "Thunder Road." A song that has floated... Review ID: 10000000000265840 Highlights from the Boxed SetReview created: 03/24/03 by: outkaster -- a member of Epinions Pros: Excellently put together CD. A very good idea.<BR/> Cons: Could have contained some more cuts of the box set I just really got back into the Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street band after a long time of not really listening to him. I went to the Buffalo and Rochester, NY concerts on the recent "Rising" tour. I felt kind of reborn and suddenly remembered why I liked him in the first place. As a kid in the early 1980's I loved his piano player Roy Bittan's work. I am a musician too and he was someone I connected with. This CD has been out for a few years and contains 18 highlights from the excellent boxed set "Tracks". I am not sure why the other posters did not like it? This is not supposed to be a...
