After the "Nebraska" release, followed by solo recording in Los Angeles, Springsteen reunited with the E Street Band at the Hit Factory in New York in May 1983. Plans were made to release an album titled "Murder Incorporated", then scrapped, "because it lacked cohesion", according to Springsteen. Finally, Landau convinced Springsteen that "BITUSA" was complete, after the recording of Dancing in the Dark. The aftermath of the 12-track release was a large number of unused recordings left "in the vaults" from this period, with Springsteen fans expecting a "super box" anniversary collection to be released one day.
