(5-LP + 12'' + Booklet) In 2011 the Cowboy Junkies embarked on their most ambitious project yet, to write and record 4 albums in 18 months. It was called The Nomad Series. Each album had its own individual style and feel. The first instalment, Renmin Park was influenced by Michael Timmins' trip to China with his family. Volume 2, Demons was an album of Vic Chesnutt cover versions and a tribute to their late friend. Sing In My Meadow was a louder, more guitar heavy album and the fourth and last in the series, The Wilderness was a group of songs that the band had written and had been playing live throughout this process and it was released in March 2012.
Once the project was finished, the band realised they had songs that haven't quite made the four albums that were too good to keep hidden. This 5th LP Extras consists of ten songs constituting a full album in the same embossed outer sleeve and printed inner that Volumes 1 to 4 have come in.

The box is completed by a live 4 track bonus 12'' that includes live tracks from At The End Of Paths Taken, songs that aren't on the CD box set. There is also a 12'' x 12'' booklet compiled by the band.

All of these come housed in a box with lift off lid so that the complete series can be kept together as a whole.
