I believe this is a counterfeit product from Amazon. The audio quality on this disc - compared to my CD copy of the same album - is absolutely horrible. I have a stereo system that includes very highly rated components from Oppo, Parasound, and PSB.
Specifically, the trumpet appears to have gone through some sort of manipulation so that it - and the string bass - sound extremely muted and missing on certain chords. I have listened to the Japanese Import of KOB before - this is not it.
I'm on my third listen of this album - having compared it against my original CD recording from Columbia Records CK64935 - and all I can say is it simply sucks. There's no way this is the widely lauded Japanese import. I want my money back...wonder if that will happen now that I've unwrapped it. Thanks, Amazon.
