It's interesting finding out about such things years later.
I had no idea Pandora's Box was not released in the US but perhaps explains why in the early days of the internet and talking about Jim and Meat's music there was little information about that album. Yet it was easily obtainable in the UK in Tower Records or Virgin in the mid 90s (on CD at least, didn't get the vinyl until a few years ago). Perhaps it was also a reaction to the success of Bat 2; easily to get the older -less popular- stuff again?
Nowadays you can forget getting these types of albums in the few major physical stores that are left.

Also in those days, I always thought Live Around The World looked like an elaborate expensive bootleg as it didn't have a major label logo on it, unlike the rest of all of Meat and Jim's music in those stores.
I mean "Tommy Boy", right? It sounds like a bootleg label to me.

(edit: looking up Tommy Boy records, and it IS actually a major label. The world is crazy.)
