The first edition of the 20 CDS are packaged in a Black Box with a brass plate on which there is a serial number (cat. no. is not on the CD or its case). This is a limited edition of 250 copies; each copy is numbered. Each disc is in a paper sleeve (of various colours), and the set includes two guitar picks. All shows are complete and uncut, and some even contain pre-show music and an announcement urging the audience to leave the hall after the show. All 20 CDS are top-quality DAT recordings worthy of a rating greater than 10 (unfortunately I can't count higher than 10).

Approximately one year later, it was reissued by Hoochie Coochie in another limited edition of 250 numbered copies in a silver box and silver cardboard sleeves. It has been treated to 24 bit remastering, and is superior to the original in sound quality, as hard as this is to believe.

The 10 shows included the following songs:
Opening/ Motherless Child/ Malted Milk/ From Four Till Late/ How Long Blues/ Kidman Blues/ I'm Gonna Cut Your Head/ .44/ Blues Leave Me Alone/ Standing Round Crying/ Hoochie Coochie Man/ It Hurts Me Too/ Blues Before Sunrise (1)/ Third Degree/ Reconsider Baby/ Sinner's Prayer/ Everyday I Have The Blues/ (2)/ Before You Accuse Me/ Someday After A While/ I'm Tore Down/ Have You Ever Loved A Woman/ Crossroads/ Five Long Years/ T'Ain't Nobody's Bizness

- Blues Before Sunrise only on discs 1, 11, and 17
- Groaning the Blues on disc 2, 8, 14, and 18
- Early in the Morning on discs 4, 10 and 16
