Bruce Springsteen Album ‘Leaked’ By Amazon

Mp3 version was available for a limited time

Bruce Springsteen's new album High Hopes was reportedly made available on online store Amazon, weeks before its release date, before swiftly being removed over the weekend.

According to Billboard the record, which features a cover of The Saints' Just Like Fire Would – understood to be recorded in Sydney during his 2013 tour, was made available when each track was available for individual mp3 download. It is not know whether the website intended to release these tracks or not, but they have since been removed. The tracks have since appeared on file-sharing website, presumably from quick-reacting fans who managed to purchase the tracks.

The album is due to be released in Australia Friday 17 January through Sony, just a couple of weeks before his second Australian tour in as many years kicks off in Perth. Full dates of those shows are below.
