Equivalent audio and video quality between the two releases and the lack of any additional extras only make that more obvious. Watching a highlight reel of "Glee's" first season of musical numbers is admittedly an entertaining experience, but the fact the same can be had, and more thoroughly, through the first season release, makes "Glee Encore" unnecessary.
GLEE ENCORE HOW TO
Here's a conundrum: When the feature is really an extra, what kind of extras can it have? The Blu-ray producers apparently didn't know how to answer the question either, as none are included. The track also features pleasing high frequency detail, exhibited by the higher pitched singing voices and occasional orchestral arrangements, as well as a solid depth and fullness in the lower frequencies. Though the main vocals in the 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio mix tend to dominate the center channel, instrument placement and supporting vocals get spread through the rest of the speaker array, providing a dynamic and enveloping experience. The image is also devoid of artifacts from overused digital manipulation tools. Fine object detail holds up in both close-ups and wide shots, with a sometimes grainy veneer that appears free of noise.
GLEE ENCORE SKIN
Like "Glee's" first season on Blu-ray, "Glee Encore" features bright and bold colors, accurate skin tones, deep and stable blacks, and pleasing contrast levels.
GLEE ENCORE 1080P
The feature is correctly framed at 1.78:1 and presented in 1080p with the AVC codec.

"Glee Encore" includes the first season musical numbers listed below. Anyone else is better off breaking out or picking up the first season Blu-ray for a more comprehensive jukebox experience.

Which begs the question of who would actually buy this trimmed down version of a handy first season extra? Frankly, just the completionists and only those who have $30 to spare (though currently has the item at about 40% the list price). For perspective, the first five Season One episodes alone have 18 songs between them. In this age of songs over albums, it's an admittedly entertaining experience, but where the first season provided this "jukebox" feature for every episode and every song, this latest variant provides at most three songs from 17 out of the 22 episodes for a total of 34 songs.
GLEE ENCORE TV
So when does something that amounts to a special feature deserve to have its own Blu-ray release? Apparently when it has anything to do with the highly popular TV show "Glee." Owners of the show's first season on Blu-ray will be familiar with "Glee Encore's" concept, which is to let fans watch just the episodes' various musical numbers without stuff like story context and dialogue.
