Line 33 ⟶ 49:
The album was originally released in 1997 with the CDs all packaged individually in jewel cases, complete with full artwork. The original issue also features a poster, a backstage pass, keyring and a few other extras depending on the region. When the album was reissued in 2003, it was packaged in a large digipak, similar to a [[longbox]], which featured either four- or five-disc trays. The four-tray versions contained the remastered ''Back in Black'' in its own case with booklet. All versions of the box feature a large book full of liner notes and rare pictures of the band, mostly from before Scott's death.
 
The boxset was the subject of a bit of derision from AC/DC fans for its limited content and select few rarities. AC/DC defended the release, stating that there was very little recorded by Scott that wasn'twas not already released.
 
The Australian version is slightly different; Let There Be Rock: Live in Paris became a single disc album by removing two tracks, Walk All Over You and TNT, which were added to the Volts album instead, creating a four disc boxset.
