"Once an attraction is represented, is it not better to spend the time and obtain the proper clearances on attractions that have yet to have ?their day? on the album? "
I agree with this. I'd rather hear things not released before (officially, anyway). Maybe once an attraction track has been on several OA's, then it's time to replace it, but Ellen's Energy Adventure just got on, so it's not like it needs to be replaced right away. Personally, I wish we could get past WDW attractions, like the Musical History set.
As time goes by, it's harder to justify including that older stuff since it's out of most people's memories, and it's not something that could be put on a current Official Album. I did appreciate Randy's "best of" album from WDW during DL's 50th. I remember back then he said that it would have been nice to do a retrospective set, but there just wasn't time to focus on it, since everthing was aimed at DL. Maybe for a WDW anniversary we'll get something???
