EBX
(1999) 		From Moscow to Mars
(2016)

Each set presents, in chronological order, five of the band's singles. Although cover art was altered (specifically for the sets), the track listings represent all music originally found on the UK versions of their singles, including all remixes and B-sides.

The first four box sets were originally released on CD, and subsequently fell out of print but were released digitally in 2017. Beginning with EBX6, the sets were released only on digital platforms.[2]
