OK, I'll try to be more specific.....

LP is the priority now. 

They are not going to release bonus material on CD only so that means a 2nd LP for bonus material and that is usually cost prohibitive and there might not be enough material to fill out a 2nd LP.

I prepared bonus tracks for Just Coolin' and that idea was nixed (I had chosen 4 bonus tracks if I remember correctly).

This does not apply to new releases. They will release all the material intended on both CD and LP.

As for the Quebec and Burrell, I guess these were essentially re-issues with a few extra bonus tracks (on the Burrell at least and apparently they missed a couple for the Quebec). Both 3 LP/2 CD sets. Perhaps other tone poets could go this route if there was enough bonus material to fill out a 2nd LP and if they do a CD as well, a single CD.

I guess this could happen by combining the two Washington CDs but I'm not sure how much they are looking at stuff like this.

Given its appeal to fans of Strata-East and related, it seems ridiculous not to release the unissued Tyrone Washington album at this point.

It is a really good date, too...

I'd love to hear it some day.

We are blessed to have lived through the 1980's-2000's golden era of Blue Note reissues, to have 95% of everything meaningful from the label made available to us, which, along with Fantasy doing the same for Prestige and Riverside, was a dream come true.  Glad for any extra goodies David Weiss and the current BN regime can send our way, but it's a cherry on top of the sundae compared to what we already have.

I realize LP is king these days, although it is sad that a lot of young people consider LPs an artifact and often do not even play them - they don't give a crap that the Jackie's Bag LP is missing three critical songs . It reminds of Zev Feldman constantly referring to his releases as 'product'..

When I take over from Don Was, I will steer Blue Note away from the 'LP is king' mantra.
