that Giant Steps (the whole album, not just the title track), despite being an absolutely  unbelievable, groundbreaking, earth-shattering, stupendous performance by Trane, is an amazingly awful recording?  The first time I heard it, I actually thought the piano was an electric keyboard.  On top of that, the effort to make the recording "stereo" only succeeded in making it unlistenable on headphones, unless you like the feeling that your head is becoming lopsided.
