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.

The first four issues of the Japanese "Born To Run" CD album are:
- Issue #1: catalogue number 35DP 21, released in 1983
- Issue #2: catalogue number 35DP 21, released in 1985
- Issue #3: catalogue number 35DP 358, released on 02 Apr 1986
- Issue #4: catalogue number 25DP 5242, released on 21 Sep 1988

Japanese releases have the price printed on the artwork and/or obi. In January 1989 VAT was introduced in Japan, and since then it became legally required that two prices be printed on the obi: the net price excluding VAT and the total price including a fixed 5% VAT. Therefore there are two versions of issue #4 of "Born To Run": the one from before January 1989 has only one price on the obi and the one from after January 1989 has two prices on the obi.
