August 14 sees the theatrical release of Blinded by the Light, a new coming-of-age film inspired by Sarfraz Manzoor's Greetings from Bury Park: Race, Religion and Rock N' Roll.  Both book and movie chronicle the story of a young man's life-changing experiences with the music of Bruce Springsteen, so it's only appropriate that a soundtrack filled with Boss tunes would be on the way.  Blinded by the Light: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack features 12 songs from the Springsteen catalogue, including classics and previously unreleased tracks such as the long-sought-after studio recording of "I'll Stand By You," written in 2001 for Springsteen's oldest son and originally submitted for consideration for the big-screen adaptation of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.  Also, for the first time on a "proper" wide-release album, the soundtrack presents two live rarities: the debut live performance of "The River" (from No Nukes '79, Madison Square Garden, NYC, September 21, 1979) and a recent solo acoustic performance of "The Promised Land" (Concert for Valor, The National Mall, Washington DC, November 11, 2014).  Available in CD and digital configurations) as well as 2-LP 12″ vinyl configurations including an exclusive orange vinyl edition at Barnes and Noble.
