The notes to accompany the original release of this series on CD were written by Wilfrid Mellers, Jonathan Baxendale & Kevin Bowyer. These texts are reproduced in their entirety and form an extended essay of 42,000 words which is included on Disc 8. It is formatted as a pdf file ready for printing on standard A4 paper. Also on Disc 8 is an excel spreadsheet listing the pieces in 3 ways: by track number, by title and by BWV number. This new set will be released in MP3 format at 320 kbps. Customers will be able to transfer the files directly to their iPod or MP3 player or to play the discs on their computer, most DVD players and the latest generation of in car players.
