Springsteen fans several months into an extended period during which the E Street Band won't see the light of day will find the darkness does has a sliver lining.  The hiatus has given Bruce and Steve Van Zandt time to dig deeper into a project the two have had little time for over the past two years.  As a result, the deluxe re-issue of the 1978 album Darkness On The Edge of Town getting more and more interesting.  During an interview on British radio, Van Zandt revealed that the reissue could possibly include as many as 10 additional tracks recorded during the sessions for Darkness. The E Street Band guitarist thinks that Bruce and he may tinker with a few of the songs, possibly adding some lyrics and recutting a few vocal parts - but that keeping the original feel of the album will be a priority. While no release date has been firmed up for the set, he expects it to be available before the suns sets on 2010, saying the project will '...be a really fun reissue for Christmas.'
