" The Complete Blue Note 45 Sessions of Ike Quebec" on MOSAIC RECORDS ( MR3-121 )
Here's the 5-star review from ALLMUSIC.COM:
"During his comeback years (1959-62) after a decade mostly off the scene, tenor saxophonist Ike Quebec recorded frequently for Blue Note. He started off with a session aimed at the 45 jukebox market and, although he eventually made a few full-length albums for the label, Quebec cut four 45 dates over a two-and-a-half-year period. This double-disc set has all of the jukebox sessions. Most of the 26 selections clock in between four and seven minutes and have long melody statements in addition to concise and soulful solos. Quebec, who was in consistently prime form during his last period, is joined by groups featuring either Skeeter Best or Willie Jones on guitar and Edwin Swanston, Sir Charles Thompson, or Earl Van Dyke on organ. Fun, loose and highly enjoyable music."
The threeLPs are in NEAR MINT ( actually, bordering on pristine ) condition. The box and booklet are also like new. As with all Mosaic box sets, the production values and attention to detail are stellar; the booklet's narrative and photographs are definitive.
This box set is long out-of-print. The Mosaic sets are usually numbered within each particular series, e.g., "This is ____ of an edition limited to ____ albums." However, for some reason this box set's booklet has the printed sentence, "This is one of an edition limited to 7,500 albums." My experience with Mosaic is that the sequence number is usually hand-written and not printed so I'm not sure what to think. Perhaps it really is the very first box in that pressing of 7,500 sets or else it's just a rare aberration in their methods. In any case, this is a highly collectable item which rarely surfaces in such fine condition. A reasonable reserve has been set for a collector's item of this stature.
