It has been remastered to sound better and many songs on CD for the first time. There are three CDs and one LP. Two DVDs, updating Family Jewels and also the entire 2003 Circus Krone gig[1]. A 164 page hard-cover book, collectible merchandise reproductions, and a working guitar amp which is what all the products come in. It is expected to be sold on November 10th, 2009.[2]

Guitar Amplifier

The 12"x12"x4" (30cm*30cm*10cm) exterior box is designed to resemble a vintage AC/DC guitar amplifier and also has the original logo that was spray-painted onto the rear of Angus and Malcolm Young's speaker cabinets in 1975. The “head” of the amp has a handle that lifts the top off to reveal the contents housed within. The head is also a working guitar amplifier. It is one watt ampliture and is considered to be a collector's item[3].
