【ディスク１】
●THE JOHN PEEL ‘TOP GEAR’ SHOW（1970年2月24日）
まず登場するのは、BBCの“TOP GEAR”に出演した際の５曲。このセッションは公式盤『THE PEEL SESSION』にもなっていますが、本作では1989年にStrange Fruit Recordsがリリースしたカセットから復刻されています。

●ピーター・ジェナーのEMIリール（1967年-1970年）
次は初期フロイドのマネージャー、ピーター・ジェナーによる資料用リール“EMI Reference Reel 6604Z”に記録されていたセッション９曲。『帽子が笑う…不気味に』『その名はバレット』が制作されたアビーロード・スタジオで録音されたもので、本作では1st Genカセットから起こされています。
ピーターは『帽子が笑う…不気味に』初期セッションのプロデューサーでもありますが、このリールは曲によって録音時期にバラつきがあり、『帽子が笑う…不気味に』とは違う時期のテイクも収録。1967年の２曲「Scream Thy Last Scream [Take 4]」「Vegetable Man」や『帽子が笑う…不気味に』直前（５月６日録音）の「Silas Lang [Take 1]」、『その名はバレット』時代の３トラック「Milky Way [Take 5]」「Untitled (Words) [Take 1]」「Birdy Hop [Take 1]」も聴けます。

●ピーター・ジェナーのEMIリール（1974年）
さらにピーター・ジェナーのリールから12トラック。こちらもアビーロード・スタジオ録音ながら『その名はバレット』よりもグッと時間の経過した1974年8月セッション（「Silas Lang [Take 1]」のみ1968年）です。やはり1st Genカセットによるベスト・バージョンで収録されています。

●THE JOHN PEEL ‘TOP GEAR’ SHOW（1970年2月24日）
ディスク１の最後は再びジョン・ピールの“TOP GEAR”。冒頭と同じ1970年2月24日セッションですが、こちらは３曲のみでBBCのトランスクリプション・ディスクからダイレクトに起こされている音源を収録しています。

【ディスク２】
●1970年６月６日ロンドンでのライヴ
『その名はバレット』制作中に“エクストラバガンザ’70 ミュージック＆ファッション・フェスティバル”に出演した際のライヴ４曲。ピッチも正確なベストバージョンです。

●マルコム・ジョーンズ・セッション（1968年-1969年）
ハーヴェストの社長にして『帽子が笑う…不気味に』のプロデューサーでもあったマルコム・ジョーンズ所蔵のテープに収録されていたもの。２本の2nd Genカセットから起こされており、「SOURCE #1」は10曲で「Silas Lang (Swan Lee) [Take 1]」を、「SOURCE #2」は11曲で「Octopus [Take 11]」「Swan Lee [Take 1]」を収録しているバージョンです。

●マルコム・ジョーンズ・ラフミックス（1967年-1969年）
1st Genカセットから起こされたラフミックスが５テイク。おおよそ『帽子が笑う…不気味に』制作時の録音ですが、ディスク１と同じく「Scream Thy Last Scream [Take 4]」と「Vegetable Man」は更に以前の1967年録音です。

【ディスク３】
●BOB HARRIS ‘SOUNDS OF THE SEVENTIES’（1971年）
1971年２月16日にBBCの“SOUNDS OF THE SEVENTIES”へ出演した際のテイク。『THE RADIO ONE SESSIONS』でオフィシャル化もされていますが、本作は格段に素晴らしいサウンドでピッチも正確なベスト・バージョンです。

●『OPEL』リミックス（1988年）
1988年に制作された編集盤『OPEL』のリミックス・バージョンが17テイク。アビーロード・スタジオのカセットから起こされた2nd Genマスターを使用しています。「Wined and Dined [Take 1]」「Golden Hair [Remake Take 6]」「Golden Hair [Take 1]」は２種ずつ収録され、『OPEL』には未収録のテイクも含まれています。

●BOB HARRIS ‘SOUNDS OF THE SEVENTIES’（1971年）
再び、1971年２月16日の“SOUNDS OF THE SEVENTIES”から「Love Song」。冒頭とは別ソースからの収録です。

【ディスク４】
●『CRAZY DIAMOND』リミックス（1992年）
最後のディスク４は１枚丸ごと、1993年にリリースされた公式ボックス『CRAZY DIAMOND』制作時のリミックス。アビーロード・スタジオのカセットから起こされた1st Genマスターを使用しています。総ざらいしたボックスだったため、おおよそ収録曲のミックス違いですが、さらにテイク違いの「Maisie [Take 1]」、「Octopus」も[Take 1]と[Take 2]をそれぞれ収録しています。
