The review

This weird new release presents on Side A Stones tracks and on Side B Bruce Springsteen stuff when he played with Castilles and Steel Mill, on a very limited album intended only for the Russian market, or so it says on front cover. The content of Stones outtakes is the same as Demos and Acetates reviewed here except for On With The Show, missing here. This coupling already prompted bootleggers in 1986 when Springstones (Not On Label) was released in just 50 copies. The funny thing is that Side B does noy feature Bruce Springsteen at all, but a hard rock band plating live. Packaging is spartan with 2 different covers, meaning 2 different (but similar) inserts with song titles in Russian, unfortunately.
