Dear Bruce fan, in this section I would like to explain how my site is developed. In the first section "MY COLLECTION" you will find all the items in my possession scanned and divided by type. The second and third sections "OFFICIAL DATABASE and "UNOFFICIAL DATABASE" want to be a reliable guide with as much information as possible on Bruce's items on the market. Inside each page you will find specific notes, detailed photos and a reliable quote based more than just on historical auctions (which as you well know can also be steered) based on the collectors experience through the years. Obviously this is only intended to be a reference of help to all collectors and therefore feel free to then make your own evaluations for any purchases. This hard work was possible with the help of many guys. First of all I would like to say thank you very much to my family: Federica my wife and my daughters Valentina and Anna for help and support me in my passion. Marcello Vescovo , if you didn't gift me for my birthday in 1984 that famous cassette this crazy adventure would never have started.Thanx to Fabrizio Tinti for the first live tapes and first tapes trades. Vito Gianfrate, my personal teacher that in the early '90 become a sincere friend and companion of the first shows. Maurizio Andreoli,Cheryl Wilson,Judi Johnson,Mark Stricherz without you my audio-video collection would never have taken off.Giuseppe Gallina ad Mauro Respiggi thanks for giving me the first notions about the official collecting world. A very special thank you to the king of collectors Giorgio Zoppi, so many years have passed since the days of the Continental Airlines Arena when I met you and Rinaldo Tagliabue on the road and who would have ever said that we would become such friends, thanks for everything !! Thanks for weaning us youngsters on their fanzines to Charles R. Cross, Philip and Steven Jump and Ermanno Labianca. Warm greetings to all travel friends: Giuseppe Belandi, Alberto Agostini, Paolo Venturini, Sergio Gambone, Simone Pozzo, Sascha Rosten, Alessandra Marcotulli, Bernie Ranellone, Paolo Robutti, Bill Donhoe. Thanks to my friends and collaborators Stefano Taverna and Peter Schofbock. Stefano is helping me with the unoffical database and Peter allowed me to use the comments from his unpublished book in the 7inchs database. A special mention to Roberto Ghiglione, a true friend and one of my best friends. In 2016 when I restarted collecting 7inchs again, he really explained me a lot and even today when I have some doubts as a collector he supports me. Roby, thank you so much for your help !! Oliviero Lucato besides being a great friend is the true living database of Bruce's entire collecting world. If you have moments of collecting despair ask to Olli he will solve the problem for you!! Thanx to Eddy Wehbe, Emanuele Orru, Antonio Cante, Roberto Roncaglia, Kenzou Kaneko, Andreas Wasching, Andrea Cusinatti, Paolo Calvi. All Springsteen collectors guys: Lars Becker, Morten Kjaervik, Andreas Aik Norgen.
Lastly I thank Bruce, without him none of this would have existed.
See ya on the road , Paolo
