Besides the 6-disc Limited Edition Deluxe Boxset, the reissue will also be available as a four-LP vinyl set, a two-CD set, as a double album colored vinyl reissue, a single vinyl picture disc and as a digital box set, available on all digital service providers.

The band originally released Synchronicity on June 17th, 1983 . The record spent 17 weeks atop the Billboard 200, and its lead single, “Every Breath You Take,” topped the Hot 100 for eight weeks. Consequence ranked it as one of the 100 greatest albums of all time in 2022.
