The set consists of a book of lyrics entitled "Words", five 3-inch compact discs of rare and previously unreleased material, and a regular-sized compact disc of "Greatest Hits" selected by Bjrk herself. Family Tree was released in November of 2002, concurrent with the release of Bjrk's Greatest Hits album, in which the tracks were selected by her fans. The five 3-inch compact discs include: "Roots CD 1", which features songs recorded before Bjrk's "second solo debut" (ie. previous to her 1993 album Debut); "Roots CD 2", which features b-sides and alternate versions of album tracks; "Beats", which focuses on both new and old songs with a heavier electronica influence; and finally "Strings", CDs 1 and 2, which feature live and studio recordings of Bjrk with the Brodsky Quartet through 1999 and 2000. The artwork on the CD was done in collaboration with Icelandic contemporary artist Gabriella Fridriksdottir. Track listing CD 1: Greatest Hits As Chosen By Bjrk - "Venus As A Boy" - 4:41
