I'll try to clear up what I can. :o)

     I got the BBC Sessions at Best Buy yesterday. I paid $18.01 for it
($16.99+tax). There is a third CD that's available, as they put it, for
a limited time. I know Tower's "third CD" will be shipped separately
from the set starting November 20th. 
     Speaking of this third CD, the interviews are: I. "One Night Stand"
(1969): Jimmy and Robert talk about performing on the radio and freedom
of expression when performing radio/television; length of songs, etc.
                                                    II. "King Biscuit
Flower Hour" (1976/77)--recently discovered interview with Jimmy that
was never broadcast. Jimmy talks about a litle bit of everythng. I found
it very interesting. :o)
                                                    III. "The Publicity
Interview" (1990): This is what some of the list members meant when they
said that one of the interviews was already released. This is a
compilation of clips from "Led Zeppelin Profiled", the promo CD, or the
third cassette (I have the Remasters on cassette) from the Led Zeppelin
Remasters CD set.
     I know nothing of the "enhanced" CD. I went to the Tower website
and was equally confused. 

     I hope this little bit helped.
