Rosetta Tharpe - Document or Proper?

So, I'm wanting to pick up the Rosetta Tharpe works.

Allmusic indicates sets by Document (79 songs on 3 CDs) and by Proper (81 songs on 4 CDs)

While I normally favor completeness, I'm willing to sacrifice 3% of the music for significantly better sound quality - is anyone familiar enough with these to know if one is better?

Any help appreciated.

Proper has some of the best sound quality avaliable. The only thing I have from document is obscure blues from the 1930's and the soung quality is poor.

Proper quality is excellent. And you can't beat the price.
