Limited pressings of the original LP version featured a full-colour picture book wrapped around the album jacket; standard versions had many of the pictures (printed in black and white) and captions on the album's inner sleeve. The CD release of the album includes the full-colour book, but it rearranges the layout to conform to the dimensions of a square CD booklet (compared to the vertically-oriented rectangular shape of the LP book). In 1999, a 16-track re-release—with content and sound closely matching those of the film—coincided with the 15th anniversary of the concert filming. An expanded 40th anniversary edition was released by [[Rhino Records]] in August 2023, marking the first official release of the complete concert recording, alongside a theatrical re-release of the film by [[A24]]. A24 Music announced a tribute album to be released during 2024, featuring artists such as [[Paramore]], [[Miley Cyrus]], [[Lorde]], [[The National]], [[Girl In Red]], [[Blondshell]] and [[BadBadNotGood]]. | Limited pressings of the original LP version featured a full-colour picture book wrapped around the album jacket; standard versions had many of the pictures (printed in black and white) and captions on the album's inner sleeve.
