In addition to a remastered version of the original album - the vehicle for hits "Smokin' in the Boys Room" (a cover of Brownsville Station) and ballad "Home Sweet Home" - the $150 super deluxe box set adds a 1985 Long Beach live concert that was never previously released, an album of rare demo recordings, and a 76-page hard-cover book featuring a number of never-before-published photos from the "Theatre of Pain Tour.""
