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.

This copy's runout groove etchings:
-----------------------------------
Side 1 (stamped): B Λ P О CXAL 33795-2A COLUMBIA NY
Side 1 (hand-etched): G 5
Side 2 (stamped): Λ P О CXBL-33795-2B COLUMBIA NY
Side 2 (hand-etched): G 5
The complete runout groove etchings on side 1 are "B Λ", "P G О", "CXAL533795-2A", and "COLUMBIA NY". The complete runout groove etchings on side 2 are "Λ", "P G О", "CXBL5-33795-2B", and "COLUMBIA NY". The hand-etched "5" seems to be a correction to the runout groove etchings on side 1 ("CXAL533795-2A") and side 2 ("CXBL5-33795-2B"). "COLUMBIA NY" on the runout groove indicates that the lacquer was cut at Columbia Mastering in New York. "P" code on the runout groove indicates that the record was pressed at Columbia Records Pressing Plant in Pitman, NJ.
