Standard edition 2-CD - the remixed 12-track album on disc one. 11 bonus tracks on disc two.
Deluxe Edition 3-CD/1-DVD;
                          A remixed version of the 12-track album remastered at Abbey Road,
                          The original 12-track album remastered at Abbey Road,
                          A bonus audio disc with 11 tracks,
                          A DVD featuring previously unreleased and exclusive content,
                          a 112-page essay book,
                          a 64-page scrap book (and a download link).
A "Super" Deluxe Edition 3-CD/1-DVD as the deluxe version, but adds a limited edition acrylic slipcase.
Remastered vinyl 2-LP gatefold version containing the contents of the remixed edition and a download link to the material.

9th October 2015 this collection entered the chart at no. 47.
16th October 2015 this had disappeared from the chart.

The four disc deluxe edition comes in at almost two and a half hours ... but ....
More-or-less the original album is repeated twice ....
The bonus disc has just 11 tracks and is barely over half-an-hour.
And then the DVD clocks in at just 35 minutes.
Yet again in the Archive Collection, one feels slightly short-changed.
