Album artwork for The Ties That Bind - The River Collection by Bruce Springsteen

The Ties That Bind: The River Collection, Is a comprehensive look at The River era, the set contains 52 tracks on 4 CDs with a wealth of unreleased material, and 4 hours of never-before-seen video on 3 BluRays.

It is comprised of the original The River double album; the first official release of The River: Single Album; a CD of 1979 / 80 studio outtakes; a two-BluRay film of never-released, newly edited multi-camera footage from Springsteen's famed 1980 show in Tempe, AZ, long rumoured but never-before-seen; rare tour rehearsal footage; a brand new documentary The Ties That Bind about The River; and a coffee table book of 200 rare or previously unseen photos and memorabilia with a new essay by Mikal Gilmore.

The River, Springsteen's fifth album, was released on October 17, 1980 as a double album and reached number 1 on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart. The Ties That Bind is a brand new 60-minute documentary produced and directed by Zimny that features an intimate interview with Springsteen as he reflects on the tumultuous, extended period writing and recording The River. The film transitions between Springsteen telling the stories behind the music - and illustrating them with solo acoustic guitar performances - interspersed with period concert footage and rare photos of Bruce and the band in and out of the studio.

The Ties That Bind: The River Collection is packaged in a 10" x 12" box with a hardcover 148-page coffee table book containing 200 studio and live photographs - most of which have never been seen before - plus pages from Springsteen's notebooks, single covers, images and outtakes from the original album package, and other memorabilia documenting the album.
