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"
