Note: Two acoustic takes of "Pink Cadillac" were recorded between December 17, 1981 and January 3, 1982 at Springsteen's home in Colts Neck, NJ. V2b was officially issued in October 2025 on the Nebraska Outtakes CD of Nebraska '82: Expanded Edition. The released version was edited, removing just under a minute from the end of the original recording.
"Pink Cadillac" was one of the few songs from the acoustic Nebraska not to be recorded with the band in the May 1982 sessions at the Power Station, but V3 was recorded on May 31, 1983 at The Hit Factory in New York and officially released in May 1984 as the b-side to "Dancing In The Dark". V3b has the complete ending, V3c is a mono mix that for some reason was only issued on the Japanese single. Included on a 1984 album artwork prototype, in place of both "No Surrender" and "I'm Goin' Down". The January 1982 acoustic recording was considered for Tracks, as it was included on a June 1998 six-CD sample set alongside the acoustic "Born In The U.S.A.".
Around November 2003, Bruce recorded backing vocals at his home studio in Rumson, NJ for Jerry Lee Lewis's cover of "Pink Cadillac" that was released on his 2006 album Last Man Standing (V4). Interestingly, the song was copyrighted on April 7, 1983, almost two months before the Hit Factory session. This was presumably in relation to Bette Midler's unreleased cover. For more details on this, see here. Despite Springsteen's previous opinion that "Pink Cadillac" wasn't a "girl's song", Natalie Cole released her own cover in 1988 that reached number five on the Billboard Hot 100. According to Cole, Bruce approved of her version, and thought that "it was very cool that a woman could [sing "Pink Cadillac"] and it would come out so great."
