I received 5 disks.The 5th disc (live at Royal Albert Hall) was not in the
gatefold packaging at all. It was in a small slipcover of it's own with a
color photo of the roof of the hall (I assume, never been there myself) and
a very blue sky. This slipcover was (I think) inside the larger outer-box
cover, presumably behind the 4 CD gatefold internal box.
I say presumably because at first I thought I only had 4 discs
myself. Then I went back to where I opened the package and saw the 5th CD
lying on the floor where it must have slipped out right when I opened the
mail. Although it *might* have been wrapped up outside of the entire box
for all I really know.
And what a great collection, I've been playing it in heavy rotation for
several weeks now. Good luck.
