Color me surprised ... already issued by Mosaic, is the market that big for the LP treatment?  

I do love Ike but can't say I pull this out very often - the short playing times and not really the greatest organ behind him.  I don't see this being a big seller but what do I know.

Since I don't have the Mosaic (or the 2005 BN release), I might be in on the game for the 2-CD set.

I've been waiting for this compilation to be released again so that Blue Note could finally rectify the missing last two tracks from these sessions ("Cry Me A River" & "Uptght"), which have only been released on a rare Japanese CD titled, "From Hackensack to Englewood Cliffs". Michael Cuscuna once told me that they missed those two tracks when he did the Mosaic box in 1987 and again when they re-did it for the Connoisseur 2CD release in 2005 but that he would try to get them out in the future. Looks like they missed them again.


To be honest, I think the 2005 2-CD Connoisseur set was supposed to have these two tracks but someone screwed up during the mastering process and no one pulled that master.

If this CD set does not include the two missing tracks, I'm good with just keeping the 2005 2-CD set, which otherwise IMO is a perfect reissue.

Pass, regardless of the 2 missing tracks. I have the Conn twofer and also rarely play it...lots of Ike recordings I go to far more often.
