The cover to the Collected Recordings media-only sampler CD

Collected Recordings 1986–1993 was a 4-CD box set that was released in 1995 by anonymous Australian band TISM. It contained their first four albums, remastered and with bonus content, and a 28-page booklet detailing the history of TISM up to 1995. A media-only promo disc also exists featuring 10 of the songs bookended by a 7-minute skit involving Ron Hitler-Barassi committing bestiality with a cow.

The album was packaged in a digipak-like box, called an Overpak, which had a structure on the second panel that had two disc trays you could flip open, which had prongs for the discs on both sides. A booklet was glued to the first panel and the whole album came in a slipcase. The overpak was removed from the right side of the slipcase.

Tracks 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 15, 17, 19 and 21 are part of the "Ron Hitler Barassi Gets His Hand Stuck Up A Cow's Arse" skit. The sampler has the distinction of being the only TISM release to have the Country Version of "Defecate on My Face" listed in its tracklist. The sampler came in a J-card jewel case similar to the ones that CD singles came in, and contained a full (minus hidden tracks) tracklist for the box set and some contact info for Shock Records.
