This deluxe box set contains 4 CDs and 1 DVD, and when compared to the 2-CD deluxe set of 2010, essentially offers more demos, more remixes, and more alternate versions.

The first CD now reverts to ‘just’ the 10-track Hunting High and Low album, with the four bonus cuts from the previous deluxe set evacuated and relocated to disc three of this new set.

The second CD is packed with demos – almost all of the previous ones, plus a few extra including four “Naersnes” Demos and a second demo of The Blue Sky.

The third CD concerns itself with commercially released material: edits, remixes, dubs, second 12” mixes, and the like. This is much more comprehensive than before – with a full set of 7” remixes plus the dub mix of Train of Thought, and those pesky digital bonus tracks are now included as part of the physical offering.

The fourth CD – More digging around in the archives has resulted in an entirely new reading of Hunting High and Low compiled from previously unheard early/alternate mixes.

The fifth disc (a DVD) completes this box set with six videos, including an ‘alternate’ cut of the famous 1985 promo of Take on Me.

This set comes packaged as a 10” x 10” hardcover book with 60 pages of never before seen photos of the band, handwritten lyric sheets, and new liner notes by Kieron Tyler.
