Kylie re-releases X

On other CD news, Kylie is re-releasing her 2007 album X this December with a bonus disc. The new package will come with new artwork (though the artwork isn't completely new as it has been used for singles from the album) and will be titled "X Tour Edition". Back in 2000 Kylie also released a Tour Edition of her highly succesful album Light Years which then featured a 9-track bonus remix disc. Australia also got an additional bonus track (cover of the famous track Physical). The only interesting thing about the X Tour Edition is neither the cover art nor the tracklist but the fact that there will be released 2 different versions. For as now there will be an Australian Edition featuring the artwork of the UK In My Arms Singles that includes a 10-track bonus remix disc. Nothing spectacular, but always nice to have. I actually prefer the Australian Tour Edition cover art more than the original album art. Besides the Australian version of the X Tour Edition there will be an Asian edition featuring a picture from the photoshoot for the Australian single release of WOW. It will not include a bonus remix disc as with the Australian release but a bonus dvd including videos for 2 Hearts, In My Arms & Wow + behind the scenes for all three. So again; nothing spectacular, but always nice to have. That is when you are a bit of a fan... I mean why do you need an additional version of X when there are no new songs but only remixes already released on CDS & Itunes? Though I must not forget to mention that the Asian edition will feature four (already released on either singles or Itunes) bonus tracks/mixes. And then I also must mention that everyone connected to the internet or buying singles already has those tracks. So in the end I am wondering what is the point in buying this tour edition? And why did I already do so....
