frontcover of the Lyn Goldsmith's photoalbum "Springsteen", with silver
frame. Backcover uses small color picture of Bruce running down the street
of some city (NYC ?). Multicolour discs with the siver label.
The front has a pic of Bruce in front of a pile of hubcaps.

MAK Productions + ESB75002 + (46:00) + 1LP + Studio 1. Rosalita (7.02) 2. Kittys Back (7.00) 3. Thunder Road (4.36) 4. Sandy (5.35) 5. Walking In The Street (3.58) 6. Shes The One (6.13) 7. A Love So Fine (3.45) 8. Born To Run (4.30) 9. Thunder Road (4.33) 10. Jungleland (1.06) Notes: This is the one that really upset Bruce when he saw it onsale. Original release was on Ruthless Rhymes records and the second press has custom labels and a wrap cover with the same artwork, although complete glued covers with the green custom labels exist as well as a picture label variant. The very first pressing has a plain white cover with E-Ticket stamped and a written number (in blue ink) on the sleeve (with RR labels). shown top left (These came out before the standard covers were available and are pretty rare now) A "fake" advance press LP was circulated in the late 80's - these are repacks and are worthless junk There were numerous "pirate" copies of the original LP - some were dubbed from tapes of the original LP and some were from the same masters. All apart from the ones listed below had the same cover art, but were on different or blank labels. Also released as a picture disc - of which there are two variants (and some come with a cut out sleve and others just with a plastic wrapper). See also CRIMINALS AND ARTISTS and THE DEVIL IN DISGUISEwhich are both copies.
