Owning multiple copies?

[Ken Dryden]

One of the mysteries to me is dropping previously unissued bonus tracks on subsequent CD reissues.

The new version of Monty Alexander's Montreux Alexander (Edel/MPS) omits the 3 bonus tracks from an earlier reissue.

The 2 CD Stan Getz Dynasty CD (Verve) was later reissued as a single CD minus the bonus track.

Royalty savings?

Of course, there are rare expamples like the self-titled Joe Morello Bluebird release for which you have to own both the LP and CD to get all of the issued tracks.

Yup.  Verve's "Originals" series dropped all bonus tracks.  I understand the concept; the idea was to make a CD duplicate of the original LP.  

Regardless, it still seems like a backward step when earlier CD reissues included bonus cuts.

The Verve "Original" was a 2 disc set minus the bonus track.

Same here. Too lazy to check discographies etc.

Now this is extremely annoying!
