The Song Book was rereleased in (2004) by Columbia/Legacy on CD. The quality of the recordings indicate that a copy of the original recordings was used to master these songs since quite a lot of background noise can be heard in all of the songs. The CD features two bonus tracks, alternative versions of I Am A Rock and A Church is Burning which were not part of the 1965 LP release.
