When Bruce Springsteen was working on his box set Tracks in 1998, he totaled the number of unreleased songs he wrote at 350. Three of his albums had more than 50 songs written for them, but the box set spanned across his whole discography up to that point. Eventually it was cut down to 66 songs on four CDs. A single CD version was also released called 18 Tracks which contained three songs not included on the box set. Since then box sets were made focusing on two of the big three and various other outtakes were spread across other compilations, but one was never made for outtakes of Born in the U.S.A.
The box set contains most of these outtakes on disc 3 with some of them on disc 2, but there are enough tracks to make an single disc out of with 17 tracks in total. I found a couple more outtakes on various compilation albums but I just wanted to focus on these 17. It seems that the previous album Nebraska was recorded at the same time as Born in the U.S.A. so maybe Bruce had so much good material that he wanted to release it on three albums.
