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.
Don't ask for more info
about the items, because I just publish what I get from collectors, I have no
items to check directly. Many photos come from the Brucebase
vinyl vault and/or Brucebase
studio boot, which are precious sources of information that you should
always use to integrate mine. Don't ask for information about buying or
exchanging the items described in this pages, the information you can find here
are for referential purpose only and you would get no response.
Notes:
Historical item. Original have matrix ESB-75-002 and Ruthless Rhymes labels. B/w picture cover. Actually I'm not sure if the first press (leaving aside the advance press, see later) is this one or the one with the custom 'head' label.
A first repress (later copies of first press?) had same matrix and same quality cover, but no labels.
Then repressed in the same months with matrix GO1002 and worse quality cover, notably darker.
A heavy vinyl picture disc exist, from the same era of the original (matrix 'E TICKET').
Other repressings with the same cover may exist.
A blank-cover pre-release is said to exist, and it should be a white stamped and hand numbered white sleeve with the same matrix and labels. It's unclear the role of the so-called 'advance pressing' stamped cover edition with custom green labels(ST/MX1), since this circulated massively and at low cost in late '80, and it seems a modern reprint.
See specific entries for all these copies for more details.
