Notes:


Original press came in white plain sleeve with a paper insert.
Paper insert features a picture  of Bruce sitting on a bench. Color of the
paper is a gradient between pink and white. Black vinyl with silver label.
Later european press comes with color picture in front and lyrics of
unreleased songs on the album on backcover. The picture captures Bruce
leaning on Clarence, holding a microphone towards Big Man's mouth (I think
Bruce playing "Fire"). It has an identical track listing to that of the
original US press, with the exception of using the full-band version of
THUNDER ROAD, very possibly identical take to the officially released one
but differently mixed using the sax-intro, instead of Bruce's harp. Black
vinyl with white plain label. Between the two version, no apparent
difference is recognized in sound quality.

in the "Follow That Dream" live gatefold release. Most copies have blank
labels - but some came with custom "Empire" labels. 

Re-release was a black and white insert wrap in a black box (above top) 
with no single - coloured blank labels on black vinyl. These are fairly rare 
- less common than the original release.
