Tracks II: The Lost Albums includes 83 tracks recorded between the years 1983 to 2018.
In a video, the 75-year-old explains: "I often read about myself in the 90s as having some lost period or something. Really, I was working the whole time.
"During the pandemic, what I did for that period of time was I finished everything I had in my vault.
"So this is Tracks II: The Lost Albums. (They) are records that were full records. Some even to the point of being mixed and not released.
"For one reason or another, something I felt was missing from some of them, or they just didn't feel complete at the time."
