Why "assume" if you can check it yourself at http://listen.tidal.com ?
Only FSRECS011 & 12 seems to be avl. there. And if you want only lossless than don't mention Deezer, it's basically just a poor man's Google Play alternative (mp3s only).
It's always sort of gamble, even with fresh releases, if some artist losslessly mastered or used lossless samples for a track. Practice proves neither most publishers/labels nor WEB shops care or check for quality, you just _maybe_ get a refund (if upscale is obvious enough) in usual/non-bandcamp WEB shops and that's it. _Very_ unlikely an upscaled track/release will be ever replaced, they'll just keep on selling it "as it is".
With mid-/end- 2000 lossless WEBs or WEBs of some minor/exotic labels the chance you buy/rip at tidal some god-damn upscale are pretty high so if a (scene) mp3 WEB release avl. then better check its spectrum 1st before you decide to buy or decide that tidal supplied some crippled version (not too often but that happened too). Anyway usually noone buys shit or there're better ways to spend money than checking if usual WEB shops sell same version (which is usually so) for every release one got from tidal for free.

+1, just wanted to say that.
Anyway, FSRECS011 has shit spectra, look that: https://imgur.com/a/Ix8g5. Only FSRECS012 has proper quality.

Early FSRECS (and PRSPCT too) got problems with quality even at proper shops/label's bandcamps and doesn't seem it can be fixed at all :(

Damn, didn't know that, thanks for info. Anyway, worst FLAC I found is here: https://tidal.com/album/40119558
Spectra are around 15 kHz.
