Don't understand why "Rebel Yell" demo wasnt included, and also would have been nice to have seen a demo of Eyes without a face as well.

Listened to the poolside mix of Eyes without a face and to be honest i'm not that fussed by it.

I picked this up from the concert last week, since it was $20. Too bad they didn't have the first album, as it is about $30+12% tax on Amazon.ca.

It also includes the five bonus tracks from the previous reissue/remaster:
2-8 Rebel Yell (Session Take) 5:26
2-9 Blue Highway (Original Demo) 4:59
2-10 Flesh For Fantasy (Session Take) 5:09
2-11 Catch My Fall (Original Demo) 4:10
2-12 Motorbikin' (Session Take) 4:16

The two "new" tracks actually sound pretty good, especially Love Don't Live Here Anymore. He performed it at the concert, and said that it was intended for the album, but since Madonna did it, he nixed it. I had no idea it was a cover version.

The demos are alright, too. They're not crappy cassette recordings that nobody wants to hear.
