Notes from Lost In The Flood:
Extremely rare Australia-only release; also issued on the CD and cassette formats (465920 2 and 465920 4, respectively) which are equally difficult to find. Box features a transparent hard plastic lid with paper inlay depicting a unique colour illustration of the American flag and title graphics, and includes Australian pressings of the first four albums (with "Born To Run" coming in a single, non-gatefold sleeve) plus "Born In The U.S.A." and "Tunnel Of Love"; accompanied by a 4-page insert.

When released, five of the six vinyl albums in the set were available as current pressings, but one of the albums in this box set, namely "Born To Run" had actually been deleted on vinyl before the decision by CBS to release this box set. Copies of this album were specifically pressed and were unique in that they did not feature the regular gatefold cover of all other Australian pressings of this album. In addition, this album has the unique font / typeface layout and label design, consistent with other CBS Australian pressings of the 1989 period.
