Great article. Let's see how your predictions play out.
Bruce's comments about no U.S.A. boxed set strike me as odd, in so much as he blames a lack of outtakes. It's been widely said over the years that he wrote and recorded 80 songs for the record. I'm not sure if that number includes the Hollywood Hills demos from 83 or leaves them out. Regardless, there must be some songs left over after the album, the b-sides, Tracks and The Essential. There are alternate takes we've heard bootlegs of, the demos I mentioned earlier, and supposedly a number of songs still unheard. I'd like to hear professionally mastered and mixed releases of all that stuff.
Good point about the demos not being considered U.S.A. sessions. Maybe I just connect them with that album because of Shut Out The Light and Johnny Bye-Bye.
