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.

A1- 4TH OF JULY, ASBURY PARK (SANDY)
B1- THE E STREET SHUFFLE
The Hollies' cover version of Springsteen's 4TH OF JULY, ASBURY PARK (SANDY), titled "Sandy (4th July, Asbury Park)", was a modest hit in Germany and some neighboring countries in the summer of 1975. In an attempt to capitalize on the success of The Hollies' version, CBS released Springsteen's version of 4TH OF JULY, ASBURY PARK (SANDY) as a single in Germany in mid-1975. The single features the text "Originalaufnahme" (which translates to "Original recording") and adapts the title "Sandy (4th July, Asbury Park)" that The Hollies used on their releases.
