Pubblicato in concomitanza dell’uscita della prima raccolta intitolata Paint the Sky with Stars, questo elegante cofanetto a forma di libro – a tiratura limitata – include tre CD suddivisi in tre differenti tematiche: Oceans, Clouds e Stars. I brani scelti sono 46 e sono stati selezionati dagli albums Enya (1987) (ripubblicato inseguito con il titolo The Celts (1992)), Watermark (1988), Shepherd Moons (1991), The Memory of Trees (1995) e Paint the Sky with Stars. Tra i 46 brani vi sono anche quattro b-sides – Oriel Window, Willows on the Water, Morning Glory e Eclipse – fino a quel momento apparsi solo nei singoli (si veda la tracklist). Lo splendido booklet, graficamente e stilisticamente simile a quello di Paint the Sky with Stars, presenta alcuni componimenti poetici di Roma Ryan ed il testo di Na Laetha Geal M'Óige (scritta dalla stessa Roma e riadattata in gaelico da Enya). I CD dell’edizione tedesca hanno un unico numero di catalogo che è lo stesso riportato sul box (WEA – 3984-21333-2). Quella giapponese contiene un booklet aggiuntivo con tutti i testi delle canzoni e la loro traduzione in giapponese, ma ogni CD ha un suo numero identificativo (WEA – WPCR 1802/3/4) oltre ad uno sticker sulla confezione esterna del box. La prima delle due edizioni destinate al mercato taiwanese nel 1998 vedrà invece la vendita singola dei tre CD aventi ognuno un booklet aggiuntivo contenente i testi delle canzoni (WEA – 4718253-00025/6/7). Un’ulteriore edizione per questo paese (WEA – 3984-21333-2, lo stesso numero di catalogo di quella tedesca), è quella con il box avente uno sticker (come nell'edizione giapponese); alcune copie sono state vendute senza lo sticker ma con un Video-CD aggiuntivo (Love Potion No. 9). Sia l’edizione giapponese che le due taiwanesi sono state prodotte in Germania.
