Michael Duquette (Founder) was fascinated with catalog music ever since he discovered there was more than one version of John Williams' soundtrack to E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. A 2009 graduate of Seton Hall University with a B.A. in journalism, Mike paired his profession with his passion through The Second Disc, one of the first sites to focus on all reissue labels great and small. His passion for reissues turned into a career, with bylines on catalog at Discogs, City Pages and Ultimate Prince and credits on titles including the Grammy-winning 'Squeeze Box: The Complete Works of "Weird Al" Yankovic.' Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with an ever-expanding collection of music.

    That is a pretty good tracklisting for Disc 2, but it does seem a little short. It would have been nice to have Another Rainy Night and Anybody Listening? included as well. I am guessing the disc has room for more than 10 tracks.

      According to what I read in another forum, the reason there are only ten tracks on Disc 2 is because the rest of that show was devoted to a full performance of the "Operation Mindcrime" album which was already released on a reissue of that album. So if you own the Operation Mindcrime reissue and this Empire reissue, you'll have the full live show.

    I'm a huge QR fan but I will have to debate on whether or not to pick this one up. I have the 2003 remaster and the dvd-audio version as well. Assuming all those songs on the second disc have never been released it might be worth it. Guess it will depend on the price.
