Notes:
- Please have a look at your copies and tell me if you have one that's any different from the ones I listed.
- I don't know if a CBS red label with "FABRICADO EN ESPAÑA POR DISCOS CBS" exists.
- Because of the low quality scans/photos I found (including my copy which I currently don't have access to), I need confirmation of all what is marked in red above. Please compare with your copies.
- I am not 100% sure but I think that the versions 3-4-5 are listed in chronological order.
- I am not 100% sure that the sleeves for versions 3-4-5 are identical.
- I am not 100% sure that the sleeves for versions 7-8 are identical.

Good find! I updated the list accordingly.

Since this red label reissue surely is the chronologically the fourth one among the above four, based on the text around the label I concluded the order in which the orange-label versions were released. I reordered the versions accordingly.

There could very well be:
- CBS red label issue with "FABRICADO EN ESPAÑA POR DISCOS CBS"
- CBS/SONY red label issue.

There is another version with Cbs/Sony logo

Labels with Cbs/Sony logo

There is another version with Cbs/Sony logo

I added it to the list. Can you please confirm the parts in red?

I’m out of home for holidays, but this one is very incomplete.

This catalog number is for the reissue. The original catalog number was CBS 65480.

When I’m home I’ll post some info

On the other hand this is one of the spanish releases were you have to collect differents labels and different sleeves more than different releases, as you can find different combinations of both of them

[Domingo]

For the first release they exist at last to different sleves, one with “Avda. Generalisimo” as CBS adress and a second “Paseo de la Castellana”

Both Greetings and The Wild were released after Born To Run in Spain. They had been said that both were released simultaneusly in 1977, but I have some dudes about it:

- I have a CBS Spain promo panflet for The Wild. There are references for BTR but not a word for Greetings. That makes no sense for a simultaneus release.

- I have copies of The Wild with CBS adress Calle Princesa, 1, and CBS Spain change this adress in march 1976.

Never seen a copy of Greetings with Calle Princesa adress, but that doesn’t mean that could exists (but I doubt)

The version 5 with the Cbs/Logo, at the botton back sleeve:
P 1977 CBS, Inc. CBS es la marca registrada de CBS Inc. DISCOS CBS S.A. Paseo de la Castellana, 93 -Madrid 16-[/b]

Also at the left hand side of the back cover: Sorry, the picture is not good
IMPRIME INDUGRAF MADRID, S.A. -ALCORCON (MADRID)

Thank you. I updated the above list accordingly.

When I’m home I’ll post some info

It would be good to complete the list... I start these lists based on what I have in my collection and what I find online. Otherwise I count on others to contribute in making these lists more and more complete. You, for example, know a lot about Spanish releases.

Just tell me what combinations exist, as long as you are sure that they were originally (sometimes) issued this way. And I will add them to the above list.

Looking forward to your post. And as always, it would be great if you could take quick photos of the sleeve and label side A.

Thank you. I added it to the above list.

I have a copy of version 5 but the back cover has not the barcode. It is the same cover as the version 2,3 and 4.
I thought that maybe it was wrong but I’ve seen others copies like the one I own.
It’s possible that there are two versions for that red label, with barcode on back cover and without.

[cgfesp]

Eddy, My copy of version 4 confirms what you have written for that version

If you've seen other copies, then it's not wrong. I updated the initial post. Thanks as always.

Fascinating... thank you.
I did the necessary updates.
You made a mistake posting two times the front cover of version 2. No back cover.

[cgfesp]

Sorry Eddy, you're right. I made several mistakes with the pictures and their sizes.

Thank you. I added it.
No need to reduce the size of the photos/scans. It's better to have high resolution.
