Limited edition, includes extra disc featuring Bowie at the BBC Radio Theatre June 27, 2000 packaged together in a cardboard slipcase. Extra disc has same catalogue number as slipcase, but barcode is printed only on slipcase

Due to a mastering error, the first pressings (estimated at 250,000 copies) contained the version of "Ziggy Stardust" recorded on 16 May 1972 twice (on track 2-04 and 2-12) while the version recorded on 18 January 1972 was missing.
By contacting the Consumer Department of EMI, buyers could get the so-called replacement disc containing the missing 'Ziggy Stardust' version.
