Disc 2 (entitled Official Bootleg 1990–2020) features 15 live songs (one to represent each studio release in the band's discography) recorded between 1990 and 2018, compiled from the band's personal archives.
Initial pre-order physical copies of the album were entitled “Greatest Hits (The Abbey Road Session)” but following an issue raised by the studio over naming rights, re-pressings and all digital copies were retitled Greatest Hits (2020 Versions).
