The box set is split into two boxes:
- Box 1: The Road: Volumes 1–5 consists of five CDs and a book, and covers the period 1972 to 1976. Included is the March 1976 Hamburg radio show that was John Greaves’s last concert with the band, and the Trondheim concert that followed in May where Henry Cow improvised as a quartet in the dark.
- Box 2: The Road: Volumes 6–10 consists of four CDs, a DVD and a book, and covers the period 1976 to 1978. Included is the March 1978 Bremen radio broadcast and the May 1977 Swedish Radio broadcast. The DVD is a 75 minute video of Henry Cow (with Georgie Born and Dagmar Krause) performing in Switzerland in 1976.
Subscribers to this box set received a third, empty box entitled The Studio: Volumes 1–5 to hold the five Henry Cow studio recordings re-issued on CD. Space was left in The Road: Volumes 1–5 box for the CD re-issue of Henry Cow Concerts. These six original albums were re-issued by Recommended Records in the Henry Cow Box in 2006. Combining the Henry Cow Box and The 40th Anniversary Henry Cow Box Set gives the complete works of Henry Cow.

Famous quotes containing the word content:
“Science asks no questions about the ontological pedigree or a priori character of a theory, but is content to judge it by its performance; and it is thus that a knowledge of nature, having all the certainty which the senses are competent to inspire, has been attained—a knowledge which maintains a strict neutrality toward all philosophical systems and concerns itself not with the genesis or a priori grounds of ideas.”
—Chauncey Wright (1830–1875)
“Societies have always been shaped more by the nature of the media by which men communicate than by the content of the communication.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
“I could be content that we might procreate like trees, without conjunction, or that there were any way to perpetuate the world without this trivial and vulgar way of coition.”
—Thomas Browne (1605–1682)
