The title of this 4-CD set is misleading. It’s “complete” only in the sense that it seems to include every scrap of tape in the Chess vaults that Universal Music Group can legally establish as theirs (other takes from sessions recorded in 1951-53 by Sam Phillips in Memphis were not sent to Chess and therefore can’t be claimed by Universal, plus Wolf made recordings for the Los Angeles-based Bihari brothers in the same period). And, since the set includes what seems to be every inch of tape from every Wolf session that could be dug up, it’s much more than “masters.” Depending on your perspective, this is a good thing or a bad thing.
