Please note: the information
published on this page are gathered from the internet, books, or from collectors
writing me.
If you think the details I'm giving here are not correct, please share your thoughts
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:
Coloured illegal flexi disc were printed of a lot of Bruce songs, among those: 57 CHANNELS, ADAM RAISED A CAIN, FOR YOU, PROVE IT ALL NIGHT, VIVA LAS VEGAS, and many others.
Warning: THESE ARE NOT AN OFFICIAL ITEM PRINTED BY COLUMBIA OR ON COLUMBIA / SONY LICENSE. This a copy of the officially released song put on very low quality support after the song was long released.
From an 'official items' collector point of view, these items are totally worthless (well, in my humble opinion, at least).
Even the bootleg collector should avoid things like these, 'cos taking a song available on an artist's official release, and sell it on an unauthorized support in much worst quality is simply PIRACY.
Orrible covers, moreover.
I'm not sure of the release date, but these should be very recent pressings.
The only known (to me) officially released, and government approved Springsteen's flexi disc are the ultra rare POLISH release of HUNGRY HEART and the OSTERREICH press of the 'Rehnbann express'.
