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.

Notes from Lost In The Flood:
Extremely rare Italy-only edition of the album inside a slim cardboard picture box that was issued in very low quantities and exclusively distributed to domestic music journalists. Fully complete sets (which are nearly impossible to find) also contained a fold-out "Born To Run" poster, a 3-page biography in Italian, photocopied excerpts from the 1975 "Time" and "Newsweek" magazine articles and a glossy black-and-white Springsteen promo photo. Disc is an imported Dutch stock copy with standard orange/yellow labels and regular gatefold picture sleeve, while the box itself reproduces the alternate Italian front cover design with additional text reading, "Il piu grosso fenomeno dell'anno al primo posto in U.S.A." ("The biggest phenomenon of the year, number one in the U.S.A.").
