I've been trying to figure out just how earlier than Bruce's version this came out -- it was definitiely the same year, but beyond that I remain confused -- and in any case it was pretty hep of Clarke to record it.
I should add that I've got an absolutely hilarious true story involving Springsteen, the Hollies, and me at a club where the Hollies were performing. Get me drunk sometime and I'll tell it to you.

Born to Run, the single, was out and about to radio stations for about a year before the official release, which gave Clarke plenty of time to hear and cover it before Bruce's version went official.
I don't recall ever hearing this, but then I was lucky enough to have WHFS playing Springsteen's version to death long before the official release.
Bonus Jewy spelling of "Springstein" on label1
I was lucky enough to hear the Springsteen/Hollies story during my trip NYC to meet you and The Floor Models...and I didn't even have to get you drunk first!
Jeez - almost a note for note copy.
Not to be sarcastic but a karaoke
