Did you ever find a Cotton Club Encore Extended edition?
I have a copy of exactly what you are looking for.
It is quite a large file, I believe about 40 GB.
It is an ISO file meant to be burned to a BD-R 50 disc.
There is also artwork included for the case and disc
so it looks like an official release.
I could shrink it to an MKV file if you prefer.
Let me know if you are interested.
