Harry said:But the big question is whether or not the albums would get full re-release treatment, or be included as part of a LOST TREASURES II... Herb somehow considered these tracks, and perhaps the whole album as "lost"... It all goes back to that sinking feeling we all had when the LOST TREASURES track listing was released: "Uh-oh - why are these tracks considered 'lost'?"
I would agree, but the optimist in me retains hope in the fact that "Last Tango In Paris," "Fox Hunt," "Save The Sunlight" and "Coney Island" did manage to nudge into the charts and they were excluded from the initial Lost Treasures... Besides, if Midnight Sun (my least favorite of the A&M era solo LPs) is getting the Signature Series treatment, then why not hold out hope that the mid 70's LPs (including the Masekela collaborations*) get the same?

*Main Event Live deserves to have the live versions of the studio LP tracks included as bonus tracks, even if the best track "African Summer" wasn't performed live. (After all, it was the only track that didn't feature Hugh Masekela)...
