The box set edition adds the remaining 16 singles from Kim’s career (only You Came (2006) and some collaborations are missing from the set), a disc featuring a selection of 20 B-sides and a disc with 12 rare remixes. The DVD’s include all of Kim’s music videos (with the exception of the music videos made for the Wilde Winter Songbook album).
