Marianne Faithfull " Broken English" Reissue

Saw this as a 2 disc set on Amazon. Doesn't say if the second disc is demos , live stuff or what?

Also included are a re-record of “Sister Morphine” only previously available on the Marianne Faithfull anthology, Perfect Strangers and 4 Bonus Tracks in the form of the 7” and 12” mixes of “Broken English” and “Why’d Ya Do It ?", which appear on CD for the very first time."

"Disc One contains the original album as an Enhanced Disc which also features the short 12 minute film specially commissioned for the album release and directed by Derek Jarman. It’s basically three promotional videos for “Witches Song”, “The Ballad of Lucy Jordan” and “Broken English” featuring unique footage of Marianne spliced together with stock footage and some of Derek Jarman’s trademark Super-8 film. This is the first time that this film has ever been commercially available."

I'm sure someone told me years ago Bob Mothersbaugh from Devo was originally going to do the guitar work on this album. In the end none of his contributions appeared (perhaps due to contractual reasons). Anyone know if that was true?
