The deluxe package will include unreleased demos, rare live performances, Blu-ray versions of music videos, the Time Piece promo Film and more.

Out of Time will be released in three different formats. The two-CD set, according to an announcement, will include a remastered version of the original album alongside demo versions of every album track, as well as demos for two non-album B-sides and a previously unreleased song. The three-LP set will include remastered vinyl versions of the original album and the demos.

The Out of Time 25th Anniversary Deluxe Edition will include four discs, featuring the remastered album, demos, recordings from the band’s performance at Mountain Stage in 1991 (a rarity for the time, as the band did not tour to promote Out of Time), and a Blu-ray disc with a high-resolution audio and 5.1 Surround Sound versions of Out of Time, all of the music videos from the album, and the 1991 electronic press kit Time Piece, featuring in-studio footage, exclusive performances and more. All versions will feature extensive liner notes by Annie Zaleski featuring interviews from all four band members and producers Scott Litt and John Keane.
