Additional information:

This compilation album was released in Japan during August 2005. The European release was set to January 9th 2006, but later on Spinefarm announced the release date being set to May 3rd 2006.

The Japanese edition not only was released much earlier than the other versions, but it also included a bonus track, a special bonus DVD on the first edition plus an additional bonus "history & museum booklet" (see the detail view). Whilst the compilation wasn't the cheapest album available, it at least included some material never to be found anywhere else before!

The additional booklet includes the band history and lots of photos not found anywhere else. Among the images there's photos of the backstage passes during the WHG and Reckoning Night tours, the very first promotional photo form the very first Sonata Arctica internet page and much more.

Bonus DVD includes five acoustic live tracks featuring only Tony and Jani, plus there's also two earlier released promotional videos. The acoustic show is missing Shamandalie since the band wasn't happy about the result. Otherwise it's complete set they performed.

An interesting detail about the back cover: the tenth track, Blank File, is spelled as "Black File" in the back cover. The booklet though has the correct spelling.
