sdcampbell, as a young musical student, it was always known that side 1 of KOB was a 1/2 step up. And we were made to transcribe them, and play them that way! It wasn't easy - but later on, on gigs and jam sessions we'd play it that way and mess with others sitting in. MAybe YOU didn't know it, but every real jazz listener I knew knew it was a half step fast. The people at Columbia and later SONY probably couldn't have cared less,....
And as to agent193's question, It might sound just a hair flat, but probably not noticible (the .37% or .0037 variance). Luckily I am not cursed with perfect pitch, just really good relative pitch. So I actually dig those inbetweeen moments...... I wouldn't sweat it, do YOU hear it is the real question? I hear it in my old REGA 3 when it runs fast. But my now Basis just sings along rock solid....
