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 eBay item description:
This is one of the numerous unofficial orders placed by unknown Austrian and German gentlemen in the early 90s at Hungaroton, Hungary. The disc is coming from the deleted Hungarian pressing plant's archives. White plain sleeve made either from unnecessary Hungarian printed cover sheets remained at the plant either from mint paper. The sleeve has the matrix # written by pen. Both side labels have stamping: MINTAPÉLDÁNY - NEM ELADHATÓ (specimen copy - not sellable). The archive had one copy of each disc pressed in Hungary for possible repressing purposes, but the factory was closed in late 1993.
