The first pressing was limited to 200 copies and contains a signed art print of which eight different versions are available. Each print was limited and numbered to just 25 copies, making this edition limited to 200 copies. The box also contains the album on CD, DVD plus a unique red vinyl copy of the album.
The second pressing has the same musical contents, although it contains a large poster instead of an art print.
