The box set contains two CDs and four LPs. The first three LPs and the two CDs feature the original 1975 record alongside nine additional tracks of rarities, such as alternate versions and demos.[3][4] Furthermore, the digital release of the set also contains a bootleg 1975 live performance at the Los Angeles Sports Arena remastered by Steven Wilson.[5][6] Moreover, the set also contains a Blu-ray featuring the 1975 album in Dolby Atmos, 5.1 surround sound, among other things by James Guthrie, and the Los Angeles Sports Arena Performance.[6] A hardcover book with photographs, a comic book tour programme and a Knebworth poster is also contained in the set.[6] The deluxe box set contains additional material, including a fourth LP containing two live tracks from the band's performance at the Wembley Stadium in 1974 and, similar to the Dark Side of the Moon box set containing replica 7" singles, a replica of the Japanese-exclusive single "Have a Cigar"/"Welcome to the Machine".[4][7] The new cover art was done by Aubrey Powell of Hipgnosis and Peter Curzon of Stormstudios.[3]
