Charlie Parker "Best of" and "Complete Masters"

[chris]

I'm assuming that the Charlie Parker "Complete Verve Master Takes" set includes all the tunes on the "Best of the Verve Years"? EG there are no alt takes on the "Best of the Verve Years"?

I'm thinking about grabbing the complete master set with the current BMG sale, wondering if I should then give away the other!

I would have to think they overlap and I strongly doubt that there would alternate takes on the Best of. That would not be the approach of that kind of set. One thing that the Complete doesn't have is the JATP work.
