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.

In 1999, 11 Bruce Springsteen studio albums, 2 live albums, and 1 EP were reissued in mini-LP cardboard sleeves as part of a "Nice Price" series. The series was issued in two waves, one on 21 Aug 1999 and one on 22 Sep 1999. The first wave includes "Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J.", "The Wild, The Innocent & The E Street Shuffle", "Born To Run", "Darkness On The Edge Of Town", "The River", "Nebraska", and "Chimes Of Freedom". The second wave was on sale for a few hours in very few stores in Japan before it was withdrawn. It includes "Born In The U.S.A.", "Live/1975-85", "Tunnel Of Love", "Human Touch", "Lucky Town", "In Concert / MTV Plugged", and "The Ghost Of Tom Joad".
"Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J." features a postcard gatefold and unique wrap-around obi replicating the second 1975 Japanese vinyl issue of the album.
