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.

"MX" (followed by six digits) on the runout groove indicates that the lacquer was cut at CBS Records in Artarmon, New South Wales, Australia. CBS Records, Artarmon pressings can also be identified by the characteristic 70mm pressing ring. "OR" (side 1, side 2, side 4) and "Otto" (side 3) on the runout groove indicate that the lacquer was cut by Otto Ruiter, an Australian mastering engineer.
