La raccolta in tre dischi si divide in “Disc 1 – The Original Album Plus”, che include cinque tracce bonus oltre alla tracklist originale, “Disc 2 – Sessions & Collaborations”, nel quale compaiono le prime versioni di “The Healing Game” e “Fire in the Belly” diverse registrazioni e collaborazioni inedite, e “Disc 3 – Live at Montreux 17 July 1997”, un rarissimo live di The Healing Game. La ristampa uscirà anche in formato single-LP.
