The clamshell box houses all 11 card-repro sleeves (1, 2 3, 7 and 8 are gatefolds) with a chunky 28-page booklet sat atop that pieces together the reissue liner notes from 2001, 2003 and 2007. JOEL PALMACCIO at Sony Music mastered the set but it's using the PETER MEW remasters and all the other quality engineers involved in the later issues. .
