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.

On this LP in the Atlantic vinyl reissue box set, the piano sounds pretty clean, but recessed and rolled-off.
