CD1 the original album, newly remastered by Robert Smith and Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios.

CD2 features 21 previously unreleased demos, including four studio vocal demos from 1990 and seventeen instrumental demos from 1991, 9 of which are previously unreleased songs.

CD3 features the four tracks from the mail-order only cassette ‘Lost Wishes’ released in 1993, which have never appeared on CD or digitally. Also included are the previously unreleased song ‘A Wendy Band’ from the 1992 Manor Studio sessions, a previously unheard mix of the epic fan favourite ‘From The Edge Of The Deep Green Sea’, as well as five rare 12” mixes.
