Is it too late to tell Blue Note?

I have subscribed.

I'd love a copy of the Myers album, but otherwise I don't think these are too hard to come by. The MB solo is a perennial $20 used LP, the Sun Ra has been reissued several times, the Wertman was reissued a few years ago and it still around, and the McCraven is being prepared for reissue now via a Kickstarter campaign: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wooleythenewt1/stephen-mccraven-wooley-the-newt

So how do the Canadians pronounce the city of "Quebec"? From what I remember from those I've encountered around here or heard on Canadian Army radio (when there still was such a thing here) it is more like "kwe-BEK" or "ke-BEK" but rarely "QWEE-bek" or "KEE-bek". I.e pronounced with the stress on the end (as with the habitants referred to as the "ke-BEKKERS"). But as you indicate, it apparently is different with his name.

I love the 2 CD set. On many days I like it better than Quebec’s LPs.

Many thanks for the kind words. Appreciate it.

In an interview with Art Taylor, Percy describes "Ike QWEE-bek" as a "real buddy of mine". It never occurred to me that proper pronunciation might be a long "e" but that's how Percy said his name.

Yes, from all I've read before I realize it's like you said. But for a CONSCIENTIOUSLY programmed re-reissue that's no reason not to include them this time around IMHO. After all, as you confirm they WERE intended for marketing as 45s. Or was it a matter of playing time? (Which I somehow find hard to believe if there had been a will - considering that the set has 3 LPs).

But what about the re-release of the small catalog 'Sweet Earth Records' https://www.discogs.com/label/48031-Sweet-Earth-Records?

Michael Cuscuna & I talked about these two tracks before the 2-CD set came out. He said that they weren't in the Mosaic box due to an oversight on his part. He believed that they should have been included. When the second release came out without them, I got the feeling that someone goofed when they pulled the master tapes for Ron McMaster and simply duplicated the songs on the Mosaic but Michael never flat-out said that. He never named names when there was a mistake like this, unless it was his fault. The thing about these two tracks was that while they made were for a 45 rpm release, they were cut the first day in RVG's new recording studio and not with any other tunes. That sort of "orphaned" them from the rest of the 45 rpm sessions.

Miki Yamanaka “Shades of Rainbow” with Mark Turner, Tyrone Allen and Jimmie MacBride I got this one from Miki directly. I like it!

So it really is so that they now omitted those 2 missing tracks for the THIRD time? Beats me why ... All on the premise that these 2 tracks were not released originally on 45s so "for authenticity sake" there is no need to include them now because they strictly speaking were not part of his 45 discography? Regardless of what collectors might be craving for? Do they really need to ride the "upgrade to new format" or "milk new buyer segments" train THAT blatantly?
