Notes from Lost In The Flood:
Promotion-only "Bruce Springsteen" EP. Altered picture sleeve featuring the "Born In The U.S.A." cover shot overlaid with entirely different colours (Bruce's t-shirt being orange instead of white, for example) on both sides and white album-style title graphics throughout. Issued in Canada (COL CDN 178), Holland (CBS SAMP 89) and the US (COL AS 1957) with only marginal sleeve variations.
