LSXX will be available as a limited-edition, seven-disc vinyl box set, and a three-CD package. Many of the recordings included in the set have never been released before, and for other tracks, it will be the first time they receive a worldwide release. Cover and individual sleeve artwork has been created by renowned British graphic designer Vaughan Oliver, who described it as "an irreverent conceptual and visual re-imagining" of his original Last Splash artwork.

I really hope there's some bonus tracks, I love this album but always thought that it was terribly short.

There were a couple of EPs issued in conjunction with the album, which had several non-LP tracks.

20 years have passed since this came out? When it feels like it just came out a few years ago? Wow is time flying by fast.
It holds up 20 years later. A lot of those early 90s albums still sound good today, they were ahead of their time.

And my 20 year old CD copy sounds fine.

Their cover of Aerosmith's "Lord Of The Thighs" is awesome.

That's included here -- it's one of the "Cannonball" b-sides.
