This seems a 2CD-box, though it's advertised as a 1CD on most websites.
Even as a 2CD-set, some tracks of the actual concert have not made it to this upcoming release (Oop Bop Sha Bam, Too Close for Comfort et cetera), plus the track's order is different than expected, no doubt due to flaws in the master tapes, which have spent the past 50 years on a shelve.
And, it has happened before that on the day of the scheduled release, record company Verve withdrew from its promise and did not release anything at all. Let's keep our fingers crossed!
