Tunnel of Love

~ Release by Bruce Springsteen (see all versions of this release, 199 available)

Annotation

Very rare East German promo pressed by VEB Deutsche Schallplatten Berlin DDR, a state owned record company that enjoyed monopoly control over music publishing and record production in East Germany at the time. The record was produced in unknown but very small numbers and copies were distributed to radio stations, record company employees and selected state officials. Packaging is very simple with the disc having blue labels and packaged in a blank light blue sleeve featuring only a plain white square on the front side.

Promo LP from 1987. Very rare pressing made by “VEB Deutsche Schallplatten Berlin DDR”/Amiga, and distributed to domestic radio stations, Amiga employees and selected GDR officials only. Neutral light blue/white cover featuring no type whatsoever; disc carries blue labels which mark the record as a promotional issue not for sale (“Unverkäufliche Musterplatte”) and also have a misprinted song title of “Cautions Man”.
