How could the four-CD Complete Blue Note Recordings be distilled to two discs on Italy's Birdland label? Simple, it's not complete. For all intents and purposes, this is the 33 master takes of Monk's own sessions not including the sessions he did with Sonny Rollins and 11 alternate takes. This is a far cry from "complete." The session note credits are accurate, though the chronology is not. The liner notes a full page-and-a-half essay are laughable. The sound is adequate but far from state of the art in terms of cleaning this stuff up. The price is nice and some civilians may choose it as a way of having these sides, but serious Monk fans should avoid it.
