 It contains three discs and consists of 60 demos, live tracks, and alternate takes, along with a DVD of videos and live performances.The set includes a version of "Doin' Time" featuring Snoop Dogg and an appearance by Gwen Stefani on "Saw Red".Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic wrote that "Everything Under the Sun" contains "a few mild revelations -- on the earliest recordings, their debt to '80s ska revival bands like the English Beat is clearer than ever, for instance -- but the primary purpose of this is as a clearing-house for rarities that have been circulating on bootleg networks".
