| Betreff des Beitrags: | Springsteen Special Collection |
Hallo zusammen, bin erst seit ein paar Minuten Forums-Newbie aber ich möchte hier eine mail posten, die mich vor Veröffentlichung von Devils & Dust von Bob Crane, dem Initiator der Springsteen Special Collection (gegr. in der Asbury Park Public Library), erreicht hat. Bob hat über Bruce veröffentlicht und ist auch Mitarbeiter beim Backstreets Magazine. Zur Eröffnung der Special Collection war Bruce persönlich anwesend und sprach sogar einige Dankesworte http://www.asburyparklibrary.org/bruce.htm Ich hatte seit Anfang 2003 schon 2x Gelegenheit dort mit ein paar netten Fanzines u.a. auszuhelfen. Es wäre toll, wenn einige von euch Stadtmagazine etc. mit D&D Thematik (anderes Material ist natürlich auch willkommen!!) an Bob senden könnten. Als „Lohn“ winkt die Aufnahme in die öffentliche „Donors List“. Also, lest bitte die u.a. mail und meldet euch bei Bob. Alle sind herzlich eingeladen mitzuhelfen, thanx.

Hard to believe we're only 23 days away from having Bruce's latest on our CD players. If shorter periods between albums is a consequence of middle age, then I say bring it on. It is also hard for me to believe that Devils & Dust is the second album of new material since the founding of the Springsteen Special Collection in late 2001. The release corresponds to a period of significant activity for the Collection, and I'd like to quickly bring you up-to-date. DEVILS & DUST IN THE COLLECTION. First and foremost, we'd like to ask your help securing news and reviews of the album and the upcoming tour for the Collection. The Collection has great book, magazine and fanzine coverage of earlier albums and tours, and we want to be sure that the new album is thoroughly covered as well. If you have coverage to donate, drop me a note at pbjcrane@erols.com and we'll work out the details. THE SUPPORT GROUP HAS INCORPORATED. The 10 fans who work most closely on the Collection have now formalized our existence as the Friends of the Bruce Springsteen Special Collection, and within a month or two, we'll be announcing plans for taking on members. We recently met with the curator of the Woody Guthrie Archives, who helped us put together plans for the future, and we've been working with an archival specialist from the Monmouth County Historical Society, who is our preservation guru. WEB SITE (PROBLEMS FINALLY SOLVED!) For more months than I care to remember, the Asbury Park Public Library's web site, including the Special Collection pages, was down more than it was up. So recently, the Library shifted to a new host. Since then, there have been absolutely no problems -- thank goodness! You'll now find us at: http://www.asburyparklibrary.org/bruce.htm STORAGE SPACE AT THE LIBRARY (Problem nearly solved!) One of the sad truths about Asbury Park is that progress is a long time coming. The Special Collection outgrew its storage space at the Library oh, about 17 months ago. Slowly, ever so slowly, the Library put together a new plan which has now been approved by the Library's Board of Trustees. We are getting a new, very secure storage area that gives us at least 75% more shelf space. The space should be ready in another one to two months. This will be a huge stride forward, and make it much easier for everyone to use the Collection. So that's the news from our little corner of the community. Thank you for your interest in the Collection, and help in getting us this far. We now have over 3,500 items -- an increase of over 2,500 in the last two and a half years -- and with Devils & Dust, we'll be pushing toward another red letter day. Enjoy the album! Bob Crane |
