Although he had already established himself as a daringly idiosyncratic recording artist as a member of Genesis and solo artist, 1986's So was Peter Gabriel's across-the-board commercial breakthrough, featuring video-and-radio smashes such as Sledgehammer, Big Time, In Your Eyes and Red Rain.

The Immersion Box Set includes the the remastered album, the 2-CD Live in Athens 1987 set, a So DNA CD which gives a unique insight into the writing and recording of So, two previously unreleased DVDs: Live In Athens 1987 and the documentary So: Classic Album, which tells the story behind the making of the record.

In addition, there is a 180-grm So LP mastered at half speed to maximize the audio quality (the track listing, unlike the original, is that favoured by the artist), along with a double-A side 12-inch vinyl collectible containing two previously unreleased tracks, Courage and Sagrada, plus Don't Give Up (alternative version piano and bvox mix) and a 60-page case-bound book which includes an introduction and So DNA summary by Peter Gabriel.
