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.


Hype stickers:

There is one hype sticker that I've seen with many copies of version 3. I've also seen it with one copy of version 4 on eBay, but I need to see more such copies to be sure that this is not a mistake (someone swapped sleeves).

Promo stamps:

Some copies of version 3 (B.L.'s copy below, My copy) have a promo stamp on the rear cover, sometimes on the top-left corner and sometimes on the bottom-left corner. It reads "PROPERTY OF CBS / DEMONSTRATION ONLY / Not For Sale".

Inner sleeves:

Based on the copies I've seen, there seems to be 3 types of inner sleeves, distinguished by the cut at the top (see below scans).
Version 1: comes with type 1 inner sleeves
Version 2: comes with type 1 inner sleeves
Version 3: comes with type 1 and type 2 inner sleeves
Version 4: comes with type 1 inner sleeves
Version 5: comes with type 1 inner sleeves
Version 6: comes with type 1 and type 3 inner sleeves
Version 7: ???
Version 8: comes with type 2 and type 3 inner sleeves

Inner sleeve
UK Springsteen discography inserts:

Based on the copies I've seen, some versions come with the 4-album discography insert; none come with the 7-album discography insert. However, I have seen some copies of version 3 with a 4-album discography insert that has a "YOU'VE GOT TO BE BOSS TO BE THE 'BOSS'" header.
Version 1: no discography insert
Version 2: comes with a 4-album discography insert type 1
Version 3: comes with a 4-album discography insert type 1 or type 2
Version 4: comes with a 4-album discography insert type 1
Version 5: comes with a 4-album discography insert type 1
Version 6: comes with a 4-album discography insert type 1
Version 7: ???
Version 8: no discography insert

4-album discography insert type 1 (front/back) 4-album discography insert type 2 (front) 7-album discography insert (front/back)

I discovered a new version (version 1 above) and bought some that I didn't have, so I decided to update this thread with more scans and details.

I recieved a promo stamped copy of version 3, but the stamp has a different position on the rear sleeve. Main post updated accordingly.
