The four-disc collection contains 113 Beau Brummels recordings, including their major and minor hits—"Laugh, Laugh", "Just a Little", "You Tell Me Why", "One Too Many Mornings"—[1] as well as 42 previously unissued tracks.[2] The set is chronologically sequenced,[2] from 1964 demos at the beginning of the first disc, to 1968 songs at the end of the fourth disc.[1] About half of each of the band's studio albums are included,[1] with some songs from Triangle not present and most of Bradley's Barn missing.[2] No material is included from the band's post-1960s reunions.[2]
Previously unreleased songs include "People Are Cruel", a 1964 track written by Ron Elliott prior to the group's signing to Autumn Records.[2] Disc three features several songs composed by Sal Valentino, including solo Valentino demos such as "Only Dreaming Now" and a version of "Magic Hollow".[2] Disc four contains outtakes, demos, and alternate versions of songs released from 1967 to 1968.[2]
The set is supplemented by a 48-page booklet containing photos, song information, and interview quotes with bandmembers.[2]
