Title: Even for a fan, this is marginal - buy it for curiosity
Review: Bruce fans beware: this is not another "Tracks", with album-quality songs that weren't released for a variety of valid creative reasons. These songs are raw -- largely just Bruce and an acoustic guitar -- unfocused, and hyperpoetic in that very early "Bruce is the new Dylan" way.Bruce was just starting to learn the real art of songwriting when these recordings were made; hence, what is here as "Eloise" later received all new lyrics and became the classic "Growin' Up."If your all-time favorite Bruce song is "Mary, Queen of Arkansas" you might listen to this repeatedly. Otherwise, if you don't mind the price, get it for the curiosity value only.
