DAY ONE purchase for me...loved Cagney's Oscar-winning song-and-dance performance as George M. Cohan...nice to see George Feltenstein & Ned Price finally opening the catalog floodgates via the Warner Archive outlet... :dance:

Stupid question time - are these pressed or more MOD of a different archive feather?
Warner Archive Blu-rays are regular, pressed ones. The difference is that the discs are created in smaller batches, and re-pressed when supplies start to get low.

This one always hits the right spots for me, and I'm not even a Yank! Saw a superb archive nitrate 35mm print of this at MoMA. May this BD beat the pants out of that! Definite purchase.

Comparing the announced extras to the two-disc DVD, there might be a few omissions. (I say might because the initial announcement could be incomplete)Yankee Doodle BugsSeveral 'trailers' for other Cagney films.A Michael J, Fox hosted documentary about Cagney.My gut feeling is the doc won't be included, but the others might
Based on that, I'd say I'll be rehousing the Blu in the old DVD casing ... and keeping the second disc which has the documentary and the Bugs 'Yankee Doodle Dandy' cartoon. I'll be losing the various Cagney shorts but I don't think they're critical.

May be a lapse in rights... Remember the Blu-ray of "Easter Parade" dropped the acclaimed American Masters documentary "Judy Garland: By Myself", which I think saw a lot of collectors keep the old DVD.

That was an error. Later pressings of Easter Parade had the documentary plus Warner sent a DVD of the documentary to anyone who bought the original blu ray and requested it.

Amazon shows October 14 as well
Hopefully it will ship by that date at Amazon. My order from Amazon still says "Delivery estimate: We need a little more time to provide you with a good estimate. We'll notify you via e-mail as soon as we have an estimated delivery date." I have Amazon Prime which usually means you get preorders on release day. It does show the 10/14 release date though.

I don't believe the Blu-ray was ever repressed. They just added the bonus DVD to all future packages. I bought it at a much later date and it came in a 2-disc case with 1 Blu-ray and 1 DVD.
