Discs 3 & 4 feature 25 demo tracks from Pete Townshend's studio archive, including songs that didn’t make the finished album.
Disc 5 - The Quadrophenia 5.1. EP - is an exclusive eight-track DVD-A re-mixed for 5.1 surround sound.
Also includes a replica 7" vinyl single featuring the hit single "5.15" b/w "Water" in a picture sleeve. (Note: The mix of "5:15" on this replica single is actually the 1979 remix from the "Quadrophenia (Music From The Soundtrack Of The Who Film)," not the 1973 UK single mix.)

This set is presented in a package replicating the striking black and white imagery from the original vinyl LP photography and adds a never-seen colour out-take of the famous cover shot.
