Notes:

Deluxe and expanded reissue of [m55625, remastered using the original master tapes not used on any previous release of the album. 

Side D features a previously unknown recording of the long-lost Sleep song "Hot Lava Man." 
Side E features two previously unreleased outtakes from the Dopesmoker sessions. 
Side F is an etching of the iconic Arik Roper Weedian image featured on the cover of all versions of Dopesmoker since 2012. 
LP #4 showcases an early, embryonic live recording of "Dopesmoker" from the I-Beam club in San Francisco on May 28th, 1994. 

Each LP is pressed on green kush vinyl, a specialized custom blend of five different colors all mixed together to create an approximation of the choicest indica strains. Additionally, the LPs are all pressed on 180-gram vinyl.

The set also includes a 7-inch single showcasing the "Dopesmoker (Radio)" and "Proceeds The Weedian" (another abridged version culled from the full-length "Dopesmoker" song), pressed on green kush vinyl and housed in a green [l89238 company sleeve. 

The set is in a wraparound slipcase with each individual LP housed in a full-color printed sleeve featuring of-the-era pictures, plus two full-color posters measuring 16.5 x 24 inches and 12 x 24 inches depicting a full-color photo of the band around the time of recording the album and the legendary "riff chart" breaking down all the different rational components of the hour-plus long song, respectively, and a 4.5-inch diameter woven Weedian patch. 

Matrix on side C has a scratched unknown symbol before "CTMM"
