The MP3s on Amazon and Rhapsody and the MP4s on iTunes will be compressed, as they normally are through those outlets.
The CD package won't be ready for another month, but it comes in a nice 5 panel fold-out with a slipcase (as you can see on the homepage.)
There is no booklet in the CD, but there are liner notes written by Steve in there.
I'm about to launch the Naked Tracks mini-site which features Steve writing about each track, tunings (where appropriate) what he was thinking when he recorded it, and his tips for playing the song. It's a great read and super informative.
The iTunes version of the release comes with a digital booklet.
Pretty much all the tracks are as they appear on the albums, though in some instances, Steve has increased the length of some solo sections - which you can either embrace, or you can edit those bits out suing ProTools, or Garage Band, or your audio editing program of choice. In some instances, he's added clicks before the song begins, so you have a lead-in. He details these edits in the Naked Tracks site.

Hey Mikey, Thank you so much for the info!
But Still, I can't download any song at Itunes or amazon.com because I'm not a U.S resident. Does anybody knows If there's a way to buy those Mp3 files while living in another country?
Thank you in Advance

It seems the physical CD could well be useful to invest in for the booklet at least, or will that be available on iTunes too?
Okay folks, before I announce it on the Vai.com News Page, feel free to check out the Naked Tracks mini-site.

Please do not post the link elsewhere for the time being. This is just for you guys for the next few hours.
It seems that Amazon.com now has downloads available for all albums, but iTunes is still missing the Fire Garden Naked Tracks. Rhapsody has them too, but is missing a couple of volumes. If you're a Napster, eMusic, GroupieTunes or LaLa user, you may find them there too. I have yet to venture into those sites in search of direct links.
Let me know if you have any questions or comments.

Just reading the linear notes for RI:R, and this bit made me gawp a little
!!Steve writes in relation to FSE:
As difficult as this song was to perform and record, after it was done I thought… “Hmmm, I can get even freakier than that.” So wait till next time.
