Mike Duquette

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.

    You are welcome Mike and thanks for finding the origins of the bonus tracks. I am blown away by the motherload of unreleased tracks that will be on these editions and I have a feeling they are going to be incredible! There are more unreleased songs than what was on the Vagabonds, Kings, Warriors and Angels boxset. I definitely have to put in a preorder at Amazon for these!
