The set included 2 CDs containing the studio recordings, 2 CDs containing the original 2008 live performance at San Francisco International Film Festival, a DVD of The Golem: How He Came into the World with the soundtrack synced to the film,[7] and a book containing chord charts by Nick Vincent and lyrics by Black Francis for The Golem.

This version contains only the substantial songs, leaving out the reprises and themes that were included with the box set.

In April 2008, Black Francis told the Village Voice, "I'm performing it in a couple of weeks down in San Francisco at this film festival.

The requisite there is to show up with some music and perform it in some way along to this movie that they're screening.

So I went down to San Francisco a couple of weeks ago and made a record with Eric Feldman producing.
