Disse sange inkluderer "Rebirth of the Flesh", to helt forskellige versioner af "Witness 4 the Prosecution" og "Wonderful Day"Både vinyl og CD sæt præsenteres i et 12" x 12" sæt, der alle kommer med en 120-siders bog med helt nye liner noter fra diverse partier, inklusiv Lenny Kravitz (der også har givet forord), lydtekniker Susan Rogers, Dave Chappelle og Minneapolis musikscene kommentator Andrea Swensson.
