Help looking for The Cotton Club Encore Extended

The Cotton Club Encore brought in lots of new footage not seen in the theatrical version. However, it also cuts about 13 minutes previously in the theatrical cut.

Has anyone added these cut scenes back into The Cotton Club Encore to create an extended version of the film?

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.

Scenes from the original cut re-inserted into the Encore cut.

1. Original opening credits with the dancing girls.
2. Frenchy tells Owney the Dutchman has arrived at the club.
3. The rooftop pideon coop scene.
4. Dixie meets Gloria Swanson.
5. The Sandman / Lila scene where she tells him she has a private life.
6. Dixie in the car with his brother after Vincent is shot.
7. Mr. Jewitt offering his help to Madame St. Clair and Bumpy.
8. The longer scene of Dixie and Vera in the white curtains.
9. Irving announcing the presence of Chaplin, Brice and Cagney at the club.

Movie is now about 144 minutes

No I never did find a copy.

I can understand why Coppola wanted the new cut because it is miles better in terms of pacing. The original felt like a drag.

Would be interesting to see the missing scenes added back into the Encore cut.

Never seen this movie but I did hear Coppola really wanted the newer edit. For fans of this flick do you like original or directors cut? Greg Z, do you like the extended?

I do prefer Coppola’s encore version over the original but some of the original
scenes did seem important to the story.
