In 2018, a series of 10 unauthorized Bruce Springsteen albums was planned for release in Italy exclusively with domestic daily newspapers Corriere Dello Sport—Stadio, Tuttosport, and Il Giornale. Each Friday, starting on 20 Apr 2018, one album would be made available at newsstands and can only be bought with one of the three newspapers. Customers, if they chose to have the album, would pay for each release € 9.90 plus the price of the newspaper. The first of the 10 releases included a box to house all 10 volumes.

The albums contained radio broadcasts of Bruce Springsteen concerts. Though these releases are not authorized by Bruce Springsteen or his record company, they are lawful due to a legal loophole in Europe. After the third release, the series was discontinued, apparently for legal reasons.

Though only the first three were released, the planned series included the following titles:
- 20 Apr 2018: "Live At Hollywood Center Studios 1992 Vol. 1"
- 27 Apr 2018: "Live At Hollywood Center Studios 1992 Vol. 2"
- 04 May 2018: "Live At Alpha Studios - Richmond 1973"
- 11 May 2018: "Live On Columbia Records Radio Hour 1995"
- 18 May 2018: "Live At The Roxy Theater 1978 Vol. 1"
