Prva dva albuma skupine je založba Harvest Records izdala na kompilacijah The Light Shines On (1977) in The Light Shines On Vol 2 (1978), Three Light Years pa vsebuje naslednje tri albume skupine: On the Third Day (1973), Eldorado (1974) in Face the Music (1975). Noben izmed teh treh albumov ni, ob prvi izdaji, dosegel lestvic, kot del seta pa so se.
Set je izšel v modrem paketu, plošče pa so izšle v plastičnih ovitkih. Čeprav je bila v setu britanska verzija albuma On the Third Day, je plošča vsebovala ovitek ameriške izdaje. Set je vseboval še knjižico z besedili in fotografijami.
Vse pesmi je napisal in uglasbil Jeff Lynne, razen kjer je posebej napisano.
