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.

Notes from Backstreets.com:
Spring 2008. Magic coverage begins here, with our exclusive interview with Bruce Springsteen at the outset of the new tour, by Backstreets editor Chris Phillips, along with Erik Flannigan's look at the new album. This enormous issue (our biggest single issue ever) also helps bring us up to date with our long-awaited Seeger Sessions Tour Spectacular. Along with show-by-show tour coverage, we've packed in a wealth of extra features in this section, including the making of Bruce's handpainted guitars, a mid-tour Q&A with the Boss, and 24 pages worth of interviews with the Sessions players: Sam Bardfeld, Art Baron, "Cousin" Frank Bruno Jr., Jeremy Chatzky, Larry Eagle, Charles Giordano, Curtis King, Greg Liszt, Lisa Lowell, Ed Manion, Cindy Mizelle, Mark Pender, Marty Rifkin, Richie "LaBamba" Rosenberg, Marc Anthony Thompson, Soozie Tyrell -- even tour guest (and banjo player on the LP) Mark Clifford. Exclusive full-color photography, Live in Dublin reviews, and more round out a sweeping look at Springsteen's pre-Magic highwire act.
Plus: Danny Federici, 1950-2008; interviews with Nils Lofgren and Jesse Malin; Ennio Morricone on the Boss; Bruce's 2007-2008 benefit performances (including Jon Landau's W.H.Y. speech) Springsteen raves over the Raspberries; Daniel Wolff on Patti Scialfa's Play It As It Lays; Pete Seeger and Bruce together on Appleseed anniversary discs; Terry Magovern tribute; reviews of the latest CD-Rs and Bruce boots, and more. 116 pages, full-color, perfect bound.
