Export copies:
I've seen export copies of version 3 with "Sounds-Express" stickers masking all references to Columbia on the cover and on the labels. Up to 1990, EMI Records Ltd. owned the international rights to the Columbia trademark, so distributors had to mask all "Columbia" logos and references for legal reasons.

Notes:
- I think I listed all the versions in the 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.
- Just like the Canada vinyl pressing of Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J., there could be reissues with catalog numbers starting with "WPD" and "XPC".
- I need confirmation of all what is marked in red. Please compare with your copies.
- All copies of Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J., The Wild, The Innocent, & The E Street Shuffle, and The River that I have with "Sounds-Express" stickers were bought in Switzerland. "Sounds-Express" may very well be a Swiss distributor.
