I was puzzled as well when I saw it in Newbury comics (local cd/dvd/pop culture chain of stores in the boston area) as well. Why not put it in a deluxe version if you are going to re release it?
Good question!
I guess the answer is they didn't think enough people would buy it, and it probably wouldn't get much press coverage. Which is not to say I don't think they should have released it with the "Complete Works" bonus disc, because I think they should have! Anyone who's going to buy this album at all probably wouldn't mind paying for that extra disc, right?
I would have paid some extra cash for the bonus tracks with no problem. Heck do the complete works along with even a few more alternate takes and we'd be talking.
I'm sure there's more releasable stuff in the vaults for this. I'm wondering, though: eventually, the archive releases will end. Perhaps there will then be a rarities box that collects tracks from the albums they skipped?
He mentioned something like that recently. It may have been in Rolling Stone. That he was going back through a lot of unreleased material to see what's there, maybe with an eye to releasing it in the future.

I am hoping it would be soon. If the bootleggers have made money off this stuff for years, there's no reason Paul should not.
