Bruce Springsteen, High Hopes (Columbia)
It's a new album, but one assembled from songs and outtakes Bruce has been amassing for the last few years: we'll take it (in the hope that this new album means Bruce is in a vault mood for the rest of the year)! (Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. - both with exclusive DVD of the entire Born in the U.S.A. album live on the Wrecking Ball tour)
Elvis Presley, The Movie Soundtracks (RCA/Sony Music U.K.)

So, they've included a live version of BitUSA to entice me to buy the new Springteen album. What would they include to entice me to buy a Remastered/Deluxe/Anniversary edition of BitUSA?
