Peru 7" Discography

[eddy_wehbe]

As far as I know, there are at least 3 versions of the Peru vinyl pressing of "Hungry Heart / Held Up Without A Gun". The only difference between the two is the font size for the title translations on the label. Mispressings and versions with promo imprints or promo stamps are not listed as separate versions.

As far as I know, there are at least 11 versions of the Peru vinyl pressing of "Dancing In the Dark / Pink Cadillac". Mispressings and versions with promo imprints or promo stamps are not listed as separate versions.

I will be considering four criteria to differentiate between versions.

1) Orange "CBS Columbia" labels vs Sunburst "CBS Columbia" / "CBS DISCOS" labels
It seems to me that the Orange "CBS Columbia" label came first

2) The catalog number is separated by a "-" on some versions and by space on some other versions.
All possible combinations:

Code: Select all

"CSR-1308-A" and "CSR-1308-B"
"CSR-1308-A" and "CSR 1308 B"
"CSR-1308 A" and "CSR-1308-B"
"CSR-1308 A" and "CSR 1308 B"

3) The distribution of the track title, title translation, and writer name on the labels.
All possible combinations: (I am using "/" to separate lines, "-" to separate side A and side B)

Code: Select all

Title / translation / writer - Title / translation / writer
Title / translation / writer - Title / translation writer
Title / translation / writer - Title translation / writer
Title / translation writer - Title / translation / writer
Title / translation writer - Title / translation writer
Title / translation writer - Title translation / writer
Title translation / writer - Title / translation / writer
Title translation / writer - Title / translation writer
Title translation / writer - Title translation / writer

For simplicity, I will represent these combinations as follows:

Code: Select all

111-111
111-12
111-21
12-111
12-12
12-21
21-111
21-12
21-21

4) "ESTEREO" or "STEREO" at the 2 o'clock position. It seems that "ESTEREO" came first, and orange "CBS Columbia" labels only carry "ESTEREO"

5) On the label's right side, the text below "ESTEREO" or "ESTEREO" and the catalog number there's the following text: "Bruce Springsteen", "(ASCAP) 1984", "45 R.P.M.", and "(P) 1984 Bruce Springsteen". This text is laid in many different ways. The combinations I've seen so far: (I am using "/" to separate lines, "-" to separate side A and side B)

Code: Select all

Side A: "Bruce / Springsteen / (ASCAP) / 45 R.P.M. / 1984 / (P) 1984 / Bruce / Springsteen"
Side B: "Bruce / Springsteen / (ASCAP) / 1984 / 45 R.P.M. / (P) 1984 / Bruce / Springsteen"

Side A: "Bruce / Springsteen / (ASCAP) / 1984 / 45 R.P.M. / (P) 1984 / Bruce / Springsteen"
Side B: "Bruce / Springsteen / (ASCAP) / 45 R.P.M. / 1984 / (P) 1984 / Bruce / Springsteen"

Side A: "Bruce / Springsteen / (ASCAP) 1984 / 45 R.P.M. / (P) 1984 Bru- / ce Springsteen"
Side B: "Bruce / Springsteen / (ASCAP) 1984 / 45 R.P.M. / (P) 1984 Bru- / ce Springsteen"

Side A: "Bruce / Springsteen / (ASCAP) / 1984 / 45 R.P.M. / (P) 1984 / Bruce / Springsteen"
Side B: "Bruce / Springsteen / (ASCAP) / 1984 / 45 R.P.M. / (P) 1984 / Bruce / Springsteen"

Side A: "Bruce / Springsteen / (ASCAP) / 1984 / 45 R.P.M. / (P) 1984 / Bruce / Springs- / teen"
Side B: "Bruce / Springsteen / (ASCAP) / 1984 / 45 R.P.M. / (P) 1984 / Bruce / Springs- / teen"

Side A: "Bruce / Springsteen / 45 R.P.M. / (ASCAP) / 1984 / (P) 1984 / Bruce / Springsteen"
Side B: "Bruce / Springsteen / 45 R.P.M. / (ASCAP) / 1984 / (P) 1984 / Bruce / Springsteen"

Side A: "Bruce / Springsteen / 45 R.P.M. / (ASCAP) / 1984 / (P) 1984 Bruce / Springsteen"
Side B: "Bruce / Springsteen / 45 R.P.M. / (ASCAP) / 1984 / (P) 1984 Bruce / Springsteen"

I bought these ones over the span of 4 years because I have a feeling that they may be genuine. I think that this sleeve was hastily made at the time from the only artwork they had in hand: the Darkness album.

Thank you Roberto! I know this was a lot of work.

I updated and completely revamped the original list. It's amazing how many versions there are.

Another fake sleeve on eBay.

[eddy_wehbe]

I found another version of Dancing In The Dark, which I will designate version 2. Scans attached.

- Orange "CBS" labels
- 111-111
- "ESTEREO"
- Side A: "Bruce / Springsteen / (ASCAP) / 1984 / 45 R.P.M. / (P) 1984 / Bruce / Springsteen"
- Side B: "Bruce / Springsteen / (ASCAP) / 1984 / 45 R.P.M. / (P) 1984 / Bruce / Springsteen"

I bought this one (and a BITUSA LP) on eBay in late March but I never received it. The seller (djlatinsugarinthehouseperu) claimed that the post office was closed due to Corona and that he would ship on May 10th. I never heard back from him and he does not reply to my messages. The period in which I could have my money back has passed, so I cannot anymore claim Item Not Received on eBay.

With the new numbering, the old version 2 became the new version 3, the old version 4 became the new version 4…

I will update the original post accordingly.

"Hungry Heart" version 3 added.
