The sessions, which lasted about ten days, were the band's first studio reunion in 11 years (since the Born In The U.S.A. Springsteen called the band in early January to record some new songs for the album and they assembled for the recording sessions on at The Hit Factory in New York City, NY. This lead to the Greatest Hits sessions with the E Street Band in 1995. His manager Jon Landau wasn't a fan of the project and recommended shelving it and focusing more on a "career overview". In 1994, Bruce Springsteen recorded an album with members of the 1992-1993 touring band. Some of the songs on Greatest Hits are shorter versions of the original album releases. Greatest Hits (1995 edition) is a collection of some of Bruce Springsteen's hit singles and popular album tracks through the years, in addition to four previously unreleased songs, three of which were recorded with the E Street Band in 1995 - Springsteen's first release with his backing band since the late eighties. Lucky Town was released on Columbia Records on, the same day as Human Touch. Roy Bittan is credited as a fourth co-producer of tracks 05, 06, and 07. It was produced by Bruce Springsteen, Jon Landau, and Chuck Plotkin. The album was recorded by Toby Scott, mixed by Bob Clearmountain, and mastered by Bob Ludwig. Lucky Town was recorded between September 1991 and January 1992 at Thrill Hill West (Springsteen's home studio in Los Angeles, CA) and A&M Studios in Los Angeles, CA. However, Springsteen unusually decided to release two different albums, Human Touch and Lucky Town, at the same time. These mid to late 1991 sessions were not originally intended to produce a stand-alone album - the songs were meant to be added to the ones recorded in 1990 and then the complete body of material would be sieved to produce one album. Chuck Plotkin has implied that about 15 songs were complete during this session period, which means there are likely only a handful of undocumented songs from these sessions still in the vaults. It would appear that they began in September 1991 at Springsteen's Los Angeles home studio and were then augmented at A&M Studios later in 1991. The recording sessions for what later became Lucky Town spanned a period of about five months, from late summer 1991 to very early 1992. However Bruce Springsteen decided to hold off the release and he continued to write more songs during the spring and summer of 1991. The Human Touch recording sessions were completed by early 1991 and the album was planned to be released in the spring of that year. Tonight this fool's halfway to heaven and just a mile outta hell and I feel like I'm coming home It's a sad man my friend who's living in his own skin and can't stand the companyĮvery fool's got a reason to feeling sorry for himself and turning his heart to stone Now a life of leisure and a pirate's treasure don't make much for tragedy Tonight I'm lying in your arms carving lucky charms yeah out of these hard luck bones Now my ass was dragging when from a passing gypsy wagon, your heart like a diamond shone It's a sad funny ending to find yourself pretending a rich man in a poor man's shirt Well I took a piss at fortune's sweet kiss, it's like eating caviar and dirt I got a new suit of clothes and a pretty red rose and a woman I can call my friend Yeah just sitting around waiting for my life to begin while it was all just slipping awayĪnd I'm tired of waiting for tomorrow to come or that train to come roaring 'round the bend Well my soul checked out missing as I sat listening to the hours and minutes ticking away
