At zappa.com’s forums, Wiki Jawaka<\/a> contributor Maroual asked a question with regard to the omission of Ravel’s Bolero<\/em> on TBBYNHIYL<\/a>, and got an answer — from Gail<\/a>, no less.<\/p>\n

Maroual:<\/p>\n

I don’t actually know from an official source why the Bolero had to be removed from TBBYNIYL, do you ? Maybe the ZFT did not want to pay royalties and prefered to remove the track.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Gail:<\/p>\n

Interestingly you have used Ravel as an example. Ravel’s Bolero was removed from FZ’s Master in the countries where it was not public domain. We (yeah, I know you trustbusters hate this when I mean me and FRANK) had to ‘post’ a public apology in the newspaper for “perverting” the intent of the composer by FZ’s arrangement and make sure that that the number of copies sold over the course of the following 2 years was limited – when it then went into public domain in the rest of the world. Since Ravel had no progeny his heirs as I recall were related to his gardener and or housekeeper. You live and you learn. — gz<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
