New reissue of Exile on Main Street

Has anyone heard the new reissue (oxymoron?) of "Exile on Main Street"? Apparently, there's a ($19.95) 2 disc and a ($139) 5 disc version. I just heard one of the bonus tracks on XM (something about plundering Mick's heart), which sounded pretty darn good; I wondered if it was worth popping for all the extras. Best wishes to all.

Is there a Cd only version?

Just heard some of it on a talk show on the local NPR station. It is the original release plus ten previously unreleased songs from that era.

I can honestly say that I really never thought of this album as a Stones masterpiece. Don't get me wrong, there are some good songs on it, but I'll take "Beggars Banquet," "Let it Bleed" "Sticky Fingers" "Some Girls" and even "Goats Head Soup" over Exile any day. The album actually got poor reviews when it first came out. I have it on vinyl, maybe I need to give it a listen, it's been a few years.
