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.

"2HZ:" on the runout groove indicates that the lacquer was cut at CBS Records Canada Ltd. "DM" on the runout groove stands for Don Mills, the plant's location (Don Mills, Ontario, Canada). The record was likely pressed at CBS Records Canada Ltd since no other pressing plant identifier is present.
