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.

Info
Brilliant DisguiseFan club promo Label (Cat #): CBS (651141 7) Format: 7" Country: Holland Release date (Original year): 1987 (1987)
A1- BRILLIANT DISGUISE
B1- LUCKY MAN
B-side label incorrectly states that "Lucky Town" is taken from the Tunnel Of Love album. This error was corrected in subsequent pressings.
This rare promo was issued exclusively to the first 400 attendees of "Springsteendag", a convention held by the (unofficial) Dutch fan club "Bruce Springsteen Vereiniging" at Amersfoort, Holland, in the fall of 1987. Since the single was not yet physically available at the time of the event, winners received a note from CBS with details on the limited edition (which was later shipped to them) as well as general info about the "Brilliant Disguise" single and "Tunnel Of Love" album in Dutch language. The picture sleeve features a special four-line "Promotional Copy, Not For Sale, Attentie CBS, Springsteendag '87" imprint in the rear's lower left corner area, while the disc itself is a standard domestic red label stock copy.
