Ooh, when was this issued? I really love that album, had it on vinyl as a kid. Might be worth investigating to try to get, I wonder if it was a crapshoot on which version you'll get Lon? A newly packaged reprint that looks like a remastered version but is really the blue border version, or a truly fresh remixed, remastered Legacy version.
edit: Well, I read the back cover from the supposed "Legacy" version and the mastering credits Larry Keyes and digital engineering by Vlado Meller, which points to this is probably an inferior sounding 80's Columbia CD, which were really harsh sounding. For example the original CBS Associated release of the "California Concert" by the CTI All Stars mastered by Meller sounds horrible and lifeless, even weirder was that applause was looped and inserted from Freddie Hubbard/Stanley Turrentine "In Concert" on that one.
