Remastered Edition
A new remastered and expanded version of Live And Dangerous was released on 24 January 2011. This edition is a 2CD/1DVD set that includes two bonus tracks on Disc 2 and a DVD of the Live And Dangerous - Live at the Rainbow Theatre 1977. This DVD was originally released in 2007 as a separate release, with bonus features like "Sight & Sound in Concert" recorded for the BBC in 1983 during the "Thunder and Lightning" tour, and five Top of the Pops performances. However the featured companion DVD that comes with the remastered release does not contain any of these extras, only the Rainbow '77 footage. The Rainbow footage was in fact originally recorded in March 1978 for TV broadcast.
It should be noted that this Deluxe Edition was not remastered in 2010 (despite what it says on the back of the CD booklet). It is the same remaster as the 1996 edition, although the two bonus tracks at the end of CD 2 were newly mastered in 2010. New remasters of the album were made, but scrapped at the last minute before the release, for reasons unknown. The first batch of this Deluxe Edition release featured the DVD in mono sound, although a stereo and surround sound version do exist. This was an error by Universal. Corrected editions are being made but no date has been given yet for their release.

Famous quotes containing the word edition:
“I knew a gentleman who was so good a manager of his time that he would not even lose that small portion of it which the calls of nature obliged him to pass in the necessary-house, but gradually went through all the Latin poets in those moments. He bought, for example, a common edition of Horace, of which he tore off gradually a couple of pages, read them first, and then sent them down as a sacrifice to Cloacina: this was so much time fairly gained.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
