The story I got was, the album sold so well that MCA/Decca had to farm out some of the pressing work to other labels. That's how I found out about the GK copy. I'd have to check my copies (yeah I have two copies even though I rarely play them), but I think the Kong version, the groove around the label's in a different place.
If I'm wrong, well...only as good as my sources.

The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.

  Interesting all the takes on this topic.
  In response to some replys here....
  Ghost, I agree jazz lps and soft female singers like Sade, Diana Krall are quite good. Analog Production of Getz Gelberto and Dave Burbeck are crazy good.
  Tom, If a stylus keeps jumping out of groove, sounds like a tonearm setup issue.
  Triode, a Youtube record store owner with an insane rig rates different pressings of same albums. You may be fortunate to have gotten better pressings and or a tube rig has a different affect.
  Goober,all I can say is good and great recordings sound amazing on my rig. I attribute the "ugly" to just bad recording, mixing and or pressing.
  
  Finally by fault of my own I use to enjoy music for music on my old modest system in my teen years. I guess having put alot of time and money into a system sets a high expectation.

    They looked at jazz as art and rock n roll as product.
    Until the late-60s/early-70s when a younger generation of record company execs took over.
