The Album

While the box set does not include any previously unreleased material, it did mark the first time that some of the band's tracks were available on compact disc. The set provides an extensive overview of the band's career, with the first three discs featuring key album tracks from Roxy Music's eight studio albums. Notably, many of the B-sides were written by other members of the band, as Bryan Ferry wanted to ensure that each band member received songwriting royalties.

Inside the Recording

The compilation was remastered by Robert Ludwig, who also worked on the 1999 remasters of the Roxy Music catalogue.
