    A reassessment was due and sadly this set is overrated. There is a problem with peak distortion on every track, which seems to be a trademark of Sony. Also, where are the two duet sides recorded in '39? Blues, and Plucked Again.

      Track 04-12 is actually entitled 'Subtle Lament' not 'Suble Lament'
