Dizzcography is a box set released in 2010, containing all previously released material by the Danish rock band Dizzy Mizz Lizzy.^[1] The name is a portmanteau of "Dizzy" and "discography". The CD version is collected in a black printed cardboard box as four Digipak CDs and a 40-page booklet. The box set was also released in a limited press on 8 double-sided vinyl records, which was a major driver of creating this box set because the albums had not been released on vinyl previously. The box set contains four albums:

• Dizzy Mizz Lizzy (1994), digitally remastered. The cover art was completely redrawn because the original designs had not been saved.
• Rotator (1996), digitally remastered and also with redrawn cover art.
• Live in Aarhus '96, a live album which was released earlier as disc two of The Best of Dizzy Mizz Lizzy.^[2]
• The Rest of Dizzy Mizz Lizzy,^[3] a compilation album of songs from various releases:
  • Track 1–4: The band's 1993 demo. Recording a demo was part of the grand prize for winning the 1993 DM i Rock contest. Produced, recorded and mixed by Flemming Hansson and Dizzy Mizz Lizzy at Sweet Silence Studios, Copenhagen in June 1993.
  • Track 5–6: Two B-side tracks. "Hurry Hurry" was recorded during the sessions for Dizzy Mizz Lizzy. It appeared as a bonus track on the Japanese release, and as B-side on the "Love is a Loser's Game" single. "Pain Before My Eyes" was previously released as a bonus track on the Japanese edition of Rotator.
  • Track 7–13: The band's first live album One guitar, one bass and a drummer, that's really all it takes - Live in Japan, recorded on 16 July 1995 in Osaka, which was only released on CD in Japan.^[4]

Live in Concert 2010 was released several months after Dizzcography and was not included in the box set.
