Comes in a non-laminated picture sleeve. This is label version 1.

Two different label designs exist and they have many distinctive features, most notably:
- Label version 1 has the vertical "BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN & THE E STREET BAND" breaks into two lines between "SPRINGSTEEN" and "&" and as "LC 0149" above the "650193 7" catalogue number
- Label version 2 has the vertical "BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN & THE E STREET BAND" breaks into two lines between "&" and "THE" and has no "LC 0149"


Copies #4 and #5: 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.
