Let's not forget about the missing first beat of "Toothless People," which hopefully will be restored.

Also let's not forget the "100-page book including a treasure trove of unseen photos and memorabilia". I suspect that might not be included in any cheaper version available from Best Buy or Amazon.

They might just do like Back to the Future: The Ultimate Visual History. There may be a short (15 pages or so) version of the book with any mass market set, and you'd have to buy the limited edition to get the full-size version. With BTTF: TUVH, they had a much smaller (both in size and page count) version of the full book bundled with the Deluxe 30th Anniversary Blu-Ray set. It gave you a small taste of the full book and made you want to buy the full version.

"The set also will include a bonus album, “Medium Rarities,” containing tracks spanning Yankovic’s career that never previously appeared on his albums."

I'm hoping this means we'll be getting a bunch of concert-only songs or demos, and not just the AORtB EP, "Headline News", and the Capitol "Bologna" single contents etc.

This LA Times piece seems to be hinting at "Belvedere Cruising" being included on "Medium Rarities". It specifically mentions the song by name and points out that box sets release date will mark the 40th (or 41st, really) anniversary of the song being written/recroded/being mailed to and subsequently aired on Dr. Demento thus officially beginning Al's career as a musician. At this point, I'd be genuinely surprised if I DIDN'T find Belvedere Vruising on here.

It looks like Bermuda is doing his updates more at the Steve Hoffman forums than WOWAY...looks like the bonus disc won't include demos.

Would love to hear band demos someday. It would be so cool to see how the songs evolved
