Bruce Springsteen is to release Chapter And Verse – a soundtrack to accompany his forthcoming autobiography Born To Run.

The record explores the singer-songwriter’s 50-plus year career and will feature five previously unreleased tracks, including two tracks from his old band, The Castiles. Solo demos of Henry Boy and Growin’ Up cut in 1972 are also included on the release.

The Boss previously said of his forthcoming memoir: “Writing about yourself is a funny business. But in a project like this, the writer has made one promise, to show the reader his mind. In these pages, I’ve tried to do this.”

Chapter And Verse will be available on a single CD or a double-LP on September 23 and can be pre-ordered via his website. Born To Run launches on September 27.
