The box set has 12 x 3" CD single snap-packs (Japanese: tanzaku) which includes twelve hit-singles released between 1973 and 1986. The singles start with the A-side tracks "Seven Seas Of Rhye" through to "A Kind Of Magic" complete with B-sides. The few non-album B-sides included are "See What a Fool I've Been", "Soul Brother", "I Go Crazy" and "A Dozen Red Roses for My Darling"). The compact discs are 3-inch or (8 cm); with sleeves called snap-packs, as they could be "snapped and folded" into a small square. Almost all of the writing is in Japanese.
All CDs have three tracks each apart from "Queen's first E.P.", which has four. The set features artwork from the original UK 7" vinyl releases, except the "Seven Seas Of Rhye" (original German sleeve) and "Killer Queen" (original French sleeve).
