Query: a bad release of a great album

I first heard this album on an audio cassette I borrowed from the library more than ten years ago, and it's been my favorite Ellington/Strayhorn music since.Unfortunately this release of ...and His Mother Called Him Bill is terrible. The first CD I received could not be played past Track 8, and the replacement Amazon sent me had errors from Track 13 until the end. Neither disc has any visible damage.I recommend ...and His Mother Called Him Bill if you like Ellington, but find another version.
