A compilation by Siouxsie and the Banshees as a 4-disc box set, which is described on the sticker on the front cover:
"B-Sides & Rarities Box Set

34 tracks on CD for the first time!

55 tracks and 3 hours and 50 minutes of total running time - which should ensure a sensation of being covered with rare takes etc. And it is a rather comprehensive release, which luckily includes fine comments from Siouxsie, Severin, and Budgie as additional material for each track.

Collector's item.
