.BELOW THERE IS ALL THAT I HAVE FOUND ABOUT STRANGE FEATURES ON THE LOST IN THE FLOOD COLLECTOR'S PAGE SITE ABOUT THIS DISC(THANKS TO THE BEST COLLECTOR'S BRUCE SITE IN THE WORLD).IT MUST BE SUPER RARE BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER SEEN SUCH A RARE ITEM WITH COMPLETE PROMO PACKAGE THIS CONSISTS IN 2 PRESENTATION LETTERS FROM COLUMBIA'S EXECUTIVES BILL RUSCH AND BRUCE LUNDVALL TO RADIO PROGRAMMER TO EXPLAIN THE RECORD AND ASK THEM TO PROMOTE THE RECORD AND 2 PROMO PHOT FROM THE RIVER IN ADDITION 2 WHITE LABEL RECORDS.Original Brazilian issue (CBS 138209/10), 1980: Misprint of “The Price You Play” on label. A corrected version was later issued with different catalogue number (CBS 138633/4). Inner sleeves for both variants had “Held Up Without A Gun” (not included on the album) listed as the second track on Side Three.
Dutch/Yugoslavian issues (both CBS 88510), 1980: Misprinted inner sleeves list “Held Up Without A Gun” (not included on the album) as the second track on Side Three. This error was never corrected even with later pressings.

While all five versions are highly collectable, the Venezuelan pressing is the rarest and most interesting; featuring Spanish song title translations on both the back cover and labels, which also have misprints of "Bruce Springteen", "Bruce Pringteen" and "Bruce Spring**teen". In addition, the right half of the inner gatefold is overlaid with a weird lime green tone.
Philippines issue (CBS/SONY LP-1457-58 [40AP 1960-1]), 1980: Extra type (“With the hit single: Hungry Heart”) on front sleeve. As a matter of fact, this wasn’t a genuine CBS/SONY release, but rather manufactured by their Filippino licensee, “Blackgold Records”.
Misprinted US issue (COL PC2 36854), 1980: An unknown number of copies featured a blank red label for Side Four on the second diSC
