A1- COVER ME
B1- JERSEY GIRL [Live]
Comes in a 1984 picture sleeve.
There are 6 versions of this single:
- A paper labels issue that comes in a non-laminated 1984 picture sleeve
- A paper labels issue that comes in a non-laminated 1985 picture sleeve
- A paper labels issue that comes in a laminated 1985 picture sleeve
- A paper labels issue that comes in a 1985 fold-out poster sleeve
- A paper labels issue with enlarged holes for jukebox use
- A plastic labels issue that comes in a non-laminated 1984 picture sleeve
The 1984 picture sleeve has "The new l.p./cassette..." on the back sleeve while the 1985 picture sleeve and fold-out poster sleeve have "The hit l.p./cassette...".
Copy #3: There are several UK 45s like this one around. These are not "genuine" large-center copies, but regular small-center ones with the center holes subsequently enlarged for jukebox use. On some releases this causes some of the text on the labels to be cropped off. Most if not all Springsteen releases with enlarged center holes were created by third parties, mainly jukebox distributors. However, it is possible that CBS Records may have enlarged some themselves for particular distributors as it would be easier for them to do it.
