The 1982 debut EP is included, but I'm not sure what else is there in terms of little treats or bonus material other than some posters. I'm sure a complete tracklist is available for all editions on the Swans website.

I just recently picked up the Filth Deluxe 3CD. This is the first early Swans release I have heard. So in this package we get CD1=Filth+some live stuff, CD2=Body to Body+some live stuff, CD3=EP1+some live stuff. I think the live stuff is generally expanded from previous editions. I was very surprised upon first listening about the similarities(!!) between Swans 82-84 and now. Gira sounds the same, and the basic songwriting techniques are the same, and the vibe that is unique to Swans is evident in these early years. Christ, Gira has even re-imagined 82-84 songs on the recent releases. (Oxygen vs Blackout, anyone?) This is all very high compliment vice complaining. I'm very happy that Gira has been very consistent for at least 3 decades. Anyway, I'm really enjoying this motherfucker.
