Discussed in the above thread although the date/title would probably have to be edited.

Well if the CD is an actual Soundtrack, then I could reconsider buying this.
But if it's The Album Of The Soundtrack Of The Trailer Of The Film Of Monty Python And The Holy Grail then this truly is a another rip-off.

It looks like its just the previous SE with the soundtrack? Meh, I won't bother. The R2 UK 2 disc is fine for me

Back to the subtitles issue, I had hoped that would have been rectified when they produced new discs for the three-movie set, but no. Like I said, they either just used Disc 1 from an SE set, or when it was a newly-pressed disc, it was done from the same glass master. Pathetic, really.
It would be great to rent one of these sets and see exactly what's in it, but that probably won't be possible. If the soundtrack that's included is the out-of-print "Python Masters" CD, that might make it worth another "dip", but it probably won't include the booklet, which was the best part of those CDs. It would of course also be worth getting if they finally did include the missing first subtitle, though.

For the 5.1 remix, some of the original audio elements either didn't exist or were damaged beyone repair. As a result, they decided to add in some new backround noises and re-recorded Micheal Palin's narration. I'd imagine the DD 2.0 Surround track is a downmixed version of the 5.1 track.

From thedigitalbits.com:
I wonder if they meant just the DVD discs themselves? The original release did not come with a soundtrack.
According to our best information, the Monty Python and the Holy Grail: Extraordinarily Deluxe Edition is apparently the same DVD as before, just repackaged.

The *only* thing I like about the "missing 24 seconds" is that the "Get on with it" joke that follows actually makes sense. But it really grinds the film to a (brief) halt for me, so I may have to track down that old cut, now that I know it's out there.
Does this mean that Graham Chapman's performance is uncut on that disc as well?
