No, I haven't seen it mentioned there, either.

Who knows what conditions the tapes are in. I doubt the RIP stuff will get a
significant upgrade for the new 2CD set. I've been told that when BLANK
GENERATION was reissued by Sire in 1990, supposedly the three bonus tracks -
the alternate "Rock and Roll Club" and the two tracks at the end - came from a
cassette(!) in Robert Quine's possession rather than coming from any master
tapes. It makes you wonder where the rest of the album was mastered from for
the CD in the first place. And the tapes to the Ork/Stiff EP have long been
MIA; that's why even the Overground CD reissue is taken from (harshly
cleaned-up) vinyl...

Anyhow, if even Sire's tapes for BLANK GENERATION are questionable, I can't
imagine that the sources for RIP are going to improve.
