Blinded by the Light

~ Release group by Bruce Springsteen

Annotation

First Springsteen single. Columbia edited 3:58 version of “Blinded by the Light” (with the last three lines of the penultimate verse and the complete final verse omitted) which is unique to this 45 and its promotional counterpart. Commercially released disc has orange/yellow labels and came in a die-cut Columbia logo sleeve. This release is much harder to find than the promotional issues. Stock copies were distributed to radio stations and music journalists, featuring purple or white “Promotional Record For Broadcast & Review - Not For Sale” stickers on either the A-side or B-side labels. Some of these were issued with the rare picture sleeve. The other promotional release featured mono version, backed by stereo, on white label, clearly marked as Promotional.
