A MESSAGE TO COLLECTORS

I have set up a private discussion forum for serious Bruce Springsteen record and CD collectors. The goal of this forum is not to replace the Greasy Lake collectors subforum or the Facebook collectors group, but an alternative to these back-and-forth emails I have been exchanging with some collectors concerning in-depth discussion about certain Springsteen collectibles.

If you are interested, register on the forum and separately send me an email telling me who you are and what is your username so that I can approve your registration. I cannot explain everything here in this short message, so please let me know by email if you have any questions or comments.

"MASTERED BY CAPITOL" on the runout groove indicates that the record was mastered at Capitol Mastering. "KP" (a signature) on the runout groove indicates that the lacquer was cut by mastering engineer Ken Perry. "SS" and "SSSS" codes on the runout groove indicate that the record was pressed at Columbia Records Pressing Plant in Santa Maria, CA. The "ZSS" prefix on the runout groove (and on the labels) is Columbia Records' code for 7" single stereo 45 rpm.
