Collecting log: Fire (live) / Incident On 57th Street (live) US 7" vinyl with production error

This 7" single from the US, which is released 28 years ago in 1987, features my favorite live performance on the flip side and is the first collectible I obtained this new year. At first glance, it may look like a test pressing, but this 7" single is actually a regular pressing without the paper label on Side A of the vinyl disc.
 
I have several 7" and LP discs with production errors from tiny to serious, such as a misspelling or typo (like African copies of THE RIVER), a blank record label,  mixing-up side A/B labels, and unbelievable manufacturing mistakes (such as an inner sleeve of a New Zealand copy of THE RIVER). However, this type of error (i.e. a disc without a label) is new to my collection. These erroneous releases in my possession will be shown sometime in a future.

BORN TO RUN US pressing LP variants: the script cover

The lyric sheets and track-list card are not genuine but photocopied

When it comes to the vinyl album of BORN TO RUN, it's not avoidable for a serious collector to mention the promotional package of the advanced test pressing, or much more famously known as the script cover. Nowadays you can find the copies that occasionally turn up on eBay in varying conditions, and actually I've seen two copies in the last two weeks, with the one being still on the auction at this moment. But before internet ages, it was quite tough to locate, and even more difficult to acquire an excellent copy, especially for collectors like me living outside the US.

BORN TO RUN US pressing LP variants

Various copies of this classic album with
more than half being the US pressings

Although THE RIVER is my favorite record, the greatest LP to me is always BORN TO RUN. Unfortunately, this classic album has been often mentioned as one of the all-time worst-sounding recording. Especially its muddy sound made me seeking for better sounding pressings, mostly targeting early US vinyl copies including the "Script" cover and "John" Landau misspelt copies. Anyway, I have collected this classic album over the years during which I noticed that there are several variations, even though trivial or minor, among the US vinyl copies with respect to the album credits on the double sleeve, the record labels, and of course, the matrix codes on the wax. So, I'm planning to start off this year with this topic. However, since it's busy season now in this country getting towards the end of this fiscal year (yes, here the fiscal year ends March), I'm afraid if I can keep up the blog work ...
