The box includes a 44-page booklet with photos, credits, chart positions, and an essay, "The Motown Phenomenon", by David Ritz. It was available online and by mail-order.
The booklet names the arranger of track 8-1 as "Ben E. Hall". This is presumably a transcription error, as this is usually credited to Rene Hall.
