Thanks Bobby - Well that makes me feel very good. I'm glad Ron got his tapes out there, as he probably went through a lot with the Werber family to get them. There's so much red tape involved. At the time Mr. Furmanek got the archive, you couldn't mix recordings done for Decca and Capitol on the same product. Also, there was a stipulation someplace that the Decca albums could not be reissued with new, clearer mixes with the extra material. Imagine having the ability to clean up the CHILDREN OF THE MORNING album or SOMETHIN' ELSE without that swinging pop combo on most of it. The mind reels! Now, as it happens both Capitol and Decca/MCA are now under the "Universal Music" umbrella, so, we'll see what happens with that. Thanks again. Sorry for babbling.
