BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN BLINDED BY THE LIGHT 7"45 COLUMBIA 4-45805 STOCK COPY US MEGA RARE NM
"Stock copies with red-orange labels
As major record companies rarely waste time and money on pressing and promoting stock copies of a record that bombed as a promo—as did Blinded By The Light—the commercial pressings are often considerably rarer than the promos, as with Blinded By The Light. While a stock copy is not impossible to find, it is not easy and we may be approaching the day when it will be nigh on impossible: With anything resembling a hit single, the stock copies always outnumber the promotional copies. The bigger the hit, the greater the ratio of stock copies to promos: assuming a pressing of 5,000 promotional copies—which is probably high for most records—for a hit single that sells 500,000 (a ‘modern’ RIAA Gold Record) gives us a ratio of 100/1 in favor of the stock copies. That means, for at least every 100 copies of the commercial pressing of the record, only one promo copy was manufactured. Again, this is probably a generous ratio: 200/1 or more is not uncommon for a best-seller. The more records sold, the greater the ratio, therefore the relative rarity of the promo increases (as, usually, does its value)." as written in ratherrarerecords.com
