Re: this new (cd) generation

(and two of those were on the cd release only). I haven't talked with Wayne specifically about this release, but he's generally far more interested in presenting an integral recording unit rather than cramming as much music as you can onto a CD. I'd guess that the odd combination of tracks from the two earlier LPs was some kind of compromise with Nonesuch who probably didn't want to release something only 35-40 minutes long. -- Herb Levy P O Box 9369 Fort Worth, TX 76147 herb@eskimo.com
