Only these small sections will be included as "interesting extras" for this preservation.
Don't forget the '78 re-release trailer (it's low quality but kind of neat) and the 4 original 1971 Radio Spots, it turned out I had saved them on one of my external disks after all. :) I got some material besides this that might make for potential extras but I guess you'll have to decide what to do with it when you receive the stuff. To get a watchable copy of the true film out there is what's most important IMO.

If we have a better guess on when the "missing scene" disappeared, the above date will be corrected. Feel free to chime in.
All English home video versions of the film from 1982 - 1995 lack this extended footage (including the revisionist-cut from 2004). If it was present in the original theatrical run in '71 and omitted for the '78 re-release we cannot tell for sure. It's present in the Italian and German TV-broadcasts as well, SilverWook's 16mm print also shares the same weird editing differences in the middle of the film (reordering of scenes) as those two broadcast versions.

It's unlikely it's a broadcast print, (except for the third reel) as even partial nudity was not going to be shown on broadcast tv.
I don't know how this stuff worked on US broadcast TV back in the day or these days for that matter but as it shares those same weird editing differences with the other broadcast versions, is there a possibility it could have been down to the TV-network to decide what to show and what not to show of the prints?
