Kind of Wow and Flutter.

So, I'm listening to my 6 eyed copy of KOB  and became increasingly bothered by obvious speed fluctuations and began looking at my tables belt as an issue. I check the speed stability and everything seemed fine. Went back to listen and it was still there. 

I then tried my second table and again it was there. Can it be that both my tables have issues? I then decided to Google KOB Wow and Flutter and apparently this recording is known to have issues. 

I can barely stand to listen to it, hearing the obvious problem. I've heard that there was a recent post production correction of this. Anyone know of what vinyl copy I can get that cleaned up this issue?

The standard CD release was also speed corrected in the 90’s.

The original was a third of a semi-tone fast on side one I believe.

Not an annoyance to most listeners, I assume.

Strange that this was not widely known for 40 years!

KOB is not a perfect recording, like many blue notes.

The image of Bill Evans piano is ridiculously small, and on many versions the brush-on-drums can not be heard.

I have never noticed "wow and flutter"!
