It is of note that these singles never were available in stores anywhere, but distributed directly by employees of Columbia/Sony Holland’s Haarlem offices to private collectors and “fan clubs”. Both came with picture sleeves featuring the same photo of Bruce, but different typefaces and layouts. Originally featuring small center holes, copies with subsequently enlarged centers (presumably made for jukebox use) are also known to exist of either title. For almost 13 years, "Missing" remained the last Springsteen single ever released commercially on 7-inch vinyl anywhere in the world.
