Audio formats
In European and Japanese releases, the CDs are hybrid SACD/CDs with a multichannel surround sound remix on the SACD layer. Canadian and U.S. releases include standard CDs without an SACD layer. The DVDs are DVD-Video format and contain three audio mixes: DTS 5.1-channel surround sound, Dolby Digital 5.1-channel surround sound, and Dolby Digital stereo. The DTS surround sound is a slightly compressed version of the surround sound on the SACDs, while the Dolby surround sound is of slightly inferior quality to the DTS. All audio tracks on the CDs were remixed in stereo and surround sound by producer Nick Davis. EMI also released a limited edition vinyl box set on 24 November 2008.
Track listing
Trespass and tracks 2–10 of Extra Tracks 1970–1975 are credited to Phillips/Rutherford/Gabriel/Banks; all other tracks are credited to Banks/Rutherford/Gabriel/Collins/Hackett. The booklet lists 'Going Out To Get You' as track 6, but it is actually track 3. The first half of 'Provocation' would be used two years later as the fanfare/verse of 'The Fountain of Salmacis', while its second half was soon appropriated for the instrumental breakdown of Trespass's 'Looking for Someone'. 'Frustration' is largely based around a Tony Banks piano theme that would reappear four years later as 'Anyway' on The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, and also incorporates a fragment of the unreleased early song 'Hair on the Arms and Legs'. 'Manipulation' is primarily composed of instrumental fragments later assembled into 'The Musical Box' for Nursery Cryme. 'Resignation' lacks an obvious connection to any later Genesis song, though its chord changes are at times reminiscent of 'In Hiding', the instrumental section of 'Stagnation', and 'The Musical Box'.
