Can someone give a detailed explanation of contents included on the digital booklet (with iTunes purchase).

I am debating which version to buy, iTunes or Amazon (I can't wait for the CD release!).

just watched the opening ceremony Pandemonium and Caliban's Dream back and it works so well... the whole craziness of industry and then the silence (whistle section) for the war memories... that whole sequence took some planning - props to Danny Boyle and Rick for making it fit so well...
