Oh boy I hope this version has the outtake with Coltrane scratching his chin 3 times 

[Kevin Bresnahan]

Isn't this close to the CDs released back in 1998: https://www.discogs.com/John-Coltrane-Giant-Steps/release/5599728 & https://www.discogs.com/John-Coltrane-Giant-Steps/release/1468729? It looks like the main difference is "Like Sonny" has been substituted for another alternate of "Naima".

I'll stick with the Heavyweight Champion box thank you very much

The only thing that might interest me is if the 2020 remasters are significantly better and/or different.

I would do that too if I had it. Have lots of standalone Atlantic CDs though. Which is enough for me. But if I hadn't those I would go for the boxset, to have the complete Atlantic output.

As far as I can see this does not include anything that wasn't already included in the Heavyweight Champion box set. I'll pass.
