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 Lost In The Flood:
Sepia-toned gatefold picture sleeve with no inside/rear text and different, script-style title lettering on front; thus also known as "the script cover". Discs - which were pressed at Columbia's Pitman, New Jersey plant - carry white "Advance Promotional" check labels (some with handwritten song titles, some without) and have matrix numbers PAL-33795-1A (A-side) and PBL-33795-1A (B-side) etched into the run-off grooves. Also included a special outer mailing envelope, a postcard-sized, laminated tracklist insert (with "Meeting Across The River" still listed under its original working title of "The Heist") and a stapled set of xeroxed lyric sheets. One of the ultimate Springsteen rarities; fully intact copies are virtually impossible to find.
