Notes:

- I tried to list the versions in a correct chronological order.

- Please have a look at your copies and tell me if you have one that's any different from the ones I listed.

- Discogs has two entries (Discogs | Discogs) of what looks to me the same version (version 8).

- It is possible that copies exist with the label of one version on one side and the label of another version on the other side, as is the case with Tunnel Of Love and The Wild, The Innocent, & The E Street Shuffle for example.
