The set will feature a total of 81 tracks, including 28 previously unreleased tracks such as demo recordings from Saturday Night and Do I Hear a Waltz?; discarded songs from Company, Follies, A Little Night Music, and Pacific Overtures; songs for an intended TV production of Into the Woods; and incidental music composed for the plays Invitation to a March and The Enclave.

The collection will feature an introduction by Harold Prince, in-depth liner notes from Mark Horowitz, as well as personal notes from the songwriter himself on some of the selections from his personal sound archives.
