The box set will be released in a digital, 1LP, 2LP, 3LP, blu-ray, and deluxe format. The base digital format contains the original record and 2018 remix, a rarities disc, and a live performance from the In the Flesh tour at Oakland Coliseum Arena, which features both a full performance of Animals as well a full performance of Wish You Were Here, "Money", "Us and Them", and "Careful with That Axe, Eugene." The performance was recorded by bootlegger Reinhard Howlein. A 64-page book containing excerpts and notes from Jonathan Lethem and Aubrey Powell will also be included.[2] The original promo radio edit of "Sheep" had remained unreleased prior to the box set and its single release on 5 November 2026.[3] The blu-ray issue of the box set will also contain a stereo, Dolby Atmos, and 5.1 surround sound remix of the record.[2][4][5]
