with me, using the e-mail address contrib@brucespringsteen.it
and correct any error I did, helping to build up a great reference site for all
the bruce collectors. If you have better photos than the ones I
collected about the item in question, you can send them in jpg format, ideal
size is 200 - 300K, I'll manage to cut and compose them.
Many descriptions and information are taken from the greatest site about Bruce
Springsteen official discography, which, just in case you didn't know, is LOST
IN THE FLOOD; so, be sure to consult it, too. It is really a great site.
Notes:
'Zimbabwe' 7'' Springsteen records are just homemade-like repackaging of unsold copies of South Africa official CBS releases. You can easily see that not only catalog numbers are identical (and this is quite normal) but the 'matrix' on dead wax area is etched in the very same way, leaving no doubt about the records having been printed by the same factory. So we are in front of records printed in south africa, not sold, relabeled and sold without picture sleeve (the ones who had it in South Africa) in Zimbabwe. I also think (I may be wrong) that this operation has been made in a recent period and not in the years when the singles where actually distributed in South Africa.
I'm searching for this record : if you have a copy to sell or trade, please contact me !!!
