Bruce Springsteen "Springsteen Pack" Four 45 Records - One of a Kind Collectible

The “Springsteen Pack” was released in Ireland in 1983. The special edition 4 pack of 7" (45) vinyl records features Born to Run, Promised Land, Hungry Heart, and The River. This is the only release of 'Promised Land' issued with a picture sleeve in the world.
The Springsteen Pack is a limited-edition release in Ireland of approximately 500 when released in 1983. 
There are rumored to be 200 Springsteen Packs that remained in circulation in 1983. 
Each 7" (45) single is in its own picture sleeve then packaged in a foldout PVC display with custom red and white color font printed on the title header card. Two metal circular holes on the top of the Springsteen Pack allowed record stores to hang the display.
The Springsteen Pack was recalled due to spelling errors, shortly after the release.  The packaging of the four 7" - 45 records contained absurd errors and misspellings ("Meeting Across the Water", "Head Up Without A Gun", "V. Landay", "Steve Van Landt") and the entire package was withdrawn. “Born To Run” and “Promised Land” are tricolor picture sleeves unique to Ireland. 
An estimated 200 Springsteen Packs remained in circulation when the Springsteen Pack was recalled.
