Well, sadly & shockingly as far as I´m concerned...no "Cuba Si, Nixon No", and no "Groundhog" either, or really anything else much of value that we don´t already have, on the music end of things- what a wasted opportunity...but at least the DVD looks useful here...too bad though...

From Amazon:

Quote:
Celebrating the 40th anniversary of this remarkable record, the album will be paired with a very special DVD featuring Songs Of America - Originally broadcast on CBS, this TV special is comprised of footage of the 1969 tour. Songs of America has never before been commercially available since it s 1969 broadcast which TV sponsors refused to endorse because of its distinct anti-Vietnam War message. This re-release also features a brand new documentary about the making of Bridge, featuring new 2010 interviews with Paul Simon, Art Garfunkel, Roy Halee and more key principles involved with making of the album. The CD includes three bonus tracks: "Feuilles-O" [Demo], "Bridge Over Troubled Water" [Demo Take 6], and "Bridge (Dub)", remixed by ?uestlove.

The 2 CD + 1 DVD set that some retailers are listing contains the BOTW cd, the Live 1969 CD (either with a change or mistake) and the documentary DVD. According to that listing #5 on the Live 69 CD is Punky´s Dilemma, presumably a mistake.

This 40th anniversary doesn´t really add anything musically, although the DVD might be interesting.

Here´s the press release from Legacy Recordings for the 2 disc (CD + DVD) set:

Confirms it includes the original 11 song album (not even the expanded version) and a DVD containing the Songs of America special & new interviews, along with a 24 page booklet.

Acording to the new exciting Simon and Garfunkel web site the new BOTW 40 Anniversary comes out on CD/DVD 08-03-11.

Hope that includes the UK.

Is that March 8 or August 3?

March 8. Most countries start with the day followed by the month, so 8-3-11 is 8 March 2011. America is funky for putting the month before the day and making it 3-8-11.
