For the first time, it gathers together all of the band’s albums for the label in that period, plus 17 bonus tracks, 11 of which are previously unreleased. The set also offers a newly-available concert recording from 1986 and their 1992 show at Red Rocks, all newly remastered, and a seven-inch single rarity.

The collection comes in a slipcase with a 64-page hardbound book and the addition of a seven-inch, blue vinyl single featuring of ‘Al Fin Voy A Encontrate’, the band’s rare Spanish version of ‘I Know You’re Out There Somewhere.’
