In September 2013 Elaiza released an LP (Vinyl!) titled March 28: The Berliner Direct To Disc Recordings. This LP features 8 tracks, including Is It Right, all acoustic tracks recorded on, you guessed it March 28. (Berliner Meister Schallplatten BS 1307).
I haven't found any other physical release than the Vinyl LP.

The compilation cd has a new 3.00 version, but there are already two different 3.00 versions dating from mid-March - one ends with an "is it right" and the other with "i can't go on, you can't go on". I don't know their source or if they are fan made.
