Background
It includes dialogue cut from the film and extra sound effects for the audio format, and introduces "The Adventures of Martin Luther", a sequence cut from the film and only restored 20 years later on the Director's Cut DVD. The songs appear in full, including "Every Sperm Is Sacred", "Galaxy Song" and a longer fade on "Christmas in Heaven". In the UK it came with a 7-inch single of "Galaxy Song" and "Every Sperm Is Sacred", and a 2006 special edition added demos and radio promos.
