Ike Quebec 45 Sessions Being Reissued - Vinyl & CD

[JSngry]

What kind of proof-of-purchase would they be equipped to accept?

I have the Mosaic but I’m sure this is better sounding so I may spring for the CDs.

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.

Presto has this as a download (44.1 kHz, 16 bit, FLAC/ALAC/WAV - cd quality), for a few weeks the price will be $14.25.  Thinking of picking it up.

This set is ok, I don't see the fuss about these two tracks, and I am ok with the Conn 45 sessions. These two tracks are not on my radar, and if I hear them, I'm going to believe that the Conn is still ok with me. FWIW, this is my go to Ike (KEEbec) record:

There's no "fuss" really. I guess it's just about completeness. I would buy this new set if it had those two tracks. As it is now, I won't be buying it for the third time. I had the Mosaic set for years & upgraded to the Connoisseur 2-CD set when it came along. I see no reason to buy this new one at all.

FWIW, they do belong on this new set and someone should have known this but, Blue Note lost that knowledge along the way. I'm surprised their Jazz Detective missed them.
