Distortion on Giant Steps?


I own several CD versions of John Coltranes Giant Steps. Seems to be major distortion (microphone, tape...) on the piano?

Such a great performance I can look past it but the distortion is a bit annoying, especially on piano solos.

Same holds true for occasional hum/buzz on Wes Montgomerys amp on a few of his albums.

I feel your pain. Recently picked up an original Kind Of Blue release (VG+) on vinyl and because of some noise on the first track I decided to also buy a new copy of the 200g Classic Records reissue. There is an intermittent "buzz/squawk" at several moments throughout the album. Especially on the cut "All Blues". I have not heard or read anyone else having this issue but it sure is annoying and I question whether to try another copy....
