referencing Dancing In The Dark (12", Maxi-Single, Test Pressing, COUNTERFEIT ) CBSA 12.4436

Fake test record. Not genuine. Disc has a bleached Label from originally orange or Red into white. But on the Photos you can see red color residues in the manipulated Label.

That record is a FAKE record. Made out of a regular Dutch or Spanish 12 inch disc. Not genuine. Some slippery traders bleached the orange or Red Labels into complete white. The sticker on the Labels with the stamped Info is also fake. I have had two Discs in that Form from a slippery Spanish Dealer.

Does this 12'' include the "blaster mix" or is it a different extended remix? There are no remix credits and timing is a bit shorter, so I wonder... No additional info for this release on discogs, also. Can anyone who owns this confirm? Thanks in advance.

the "oh oh oh" backing vocals are still there, and the multiple breaks improve the song, note: I would have personnally cut more instruments at 3:21; anyway the 'Dancing, Dancing, In the Dark.'oh oh oh' is not ideal sure , but the version remains a great mix overall

Yes, it is the same thing with some so called Mexican Radio-Station LP-Albums as Promo-editions, but they are also FAKE items. There are a lot of Dire Straits FAKE-promo LPs and FAKE-promo Maxi-Singles around. The covers are FAKE, and in some cases the stamps and stickers on the labels are also FAKE. SO, don´t waste your money in such rip-off items. Such records are totally overpriced on the online-markets and they are not the real deal.

Huge beefy sound on this 12-inch wonder, in particular 'Pink Cadillac' one of my favorite tunes by The Boss...

My modest opinion : this is an original vintage picture sleeve. According to the info that I found , only for radio rock stations on 80’s. Also, it looks vintage clearly and wonderful. Thanks anyway for the message

Vinyl is official but photo sleeve seems counterfeit.
Awkward and poor layout and design, impossible to come out from an official record label.
"Bruce Springsteen" printed as "bruce springsteen" without capital lettering is at least unprofessional.
Overall, this item fits a pattern of suspicious photo sleeves coming out of Peru, all in similar printing styles, colouring and font choice, but yet supposedly to be issued by different Peruvian record labels. It simply doesnt add up.
