2023 repress/reissue of the 2020 Deluxe Edition.

Made In Germany
11" x 11" book with discs mounted inside cover

3CD/Blu-ray featuring remastered stereo and 5.1 surround sound mixes, additional studio recordings, a disc of unreleased demos and a new feature length Lasse Hoile directed documentary, plus 100-page hardback book with exclusive content including photography by Lasse Hoile, Carl Glover, Richard Barbieri and John Blackford from the recording sessions, subsequent tour and more, extensive biographical liner notes and track-by-track commentary by Stephen Humphries, artwork drafts, and handwritten notes and lyrics.

The first CD features Steven Wilson's 2017 remaster, which has less compression and limiting.

The second CD includes all of the additional finished studio recordings the band made during the period.

The third CD comprises over 70 minutes of demos recorded at Wilson's home studio during the two years leading up to recording the album. Many of the selections differ from the final versions, with additional sections, alternate lyrics, and different arrangements. Also included are demos of three songs that were not subsequently recorded by the band, all released here for the first time: Imogen Slaughter, Watching You Sleep, and Enough.

The Blu-ray features the new master of the original stereo mix, the 5.1 surround sound mix created in 2003 by Elliot Scheiner, plus the audio from the second CD, all in high resolution audio. It also boasts a new 1 hour and 49 minute long documentary film directed by Lasse Hoile, chronicling the making of the album with interviews and archive footage.
