Note: V1a and V1b are two slightly different mixes of the same take, recorded at Power Station on September 2, 1979. The song was included in an archival concept list compiled by a Sony engineer in 1993, and also on a early six-CD Tracks sampler from June 1998 but ultimately not released until Essential in 2003. In the Essential liner notes Springsteen wrote that "I busted out my Gretsch "country gentleman" guitar and the band drove the hell out of it in a take or two". Former Blondie guitarist Frank Infante disclosed that the distinctive guitar riff featured in the band's 1980 hit "Atomic" was recorded using a Country Gentleman guitar borrowed from Bruce. At the time, Blondie and Springsteen were recording in adjacent studios at the Power Station in New York City. V2 is a rough take with just Bruce on guitar and vocals, which he recorded for Dave Edmunds after offering him the song to record in 1981.
