Could be interesting if it includes additional songs rather than alt takes.

I've added details to the opening post. There will be a bonus CD with four additional tracks.

I have the deluxe version of the CD. It contains A Case of You and All I Want. So actually the additional tracks for those who have the deluxe version are
Harlem In Havana and I Had A King.
Still worth considering (at a good price) as this album is one of my favs which I play often.
