"Super Analog Disk" sounds distorted

I have a reissue of George Szell's Tchaikovsky Symphony #4 on London, reissued by Super Analog Disk in Japan, that I bought new about 15 years ago. When I first played it, I was amazed at how bad it sounded. Not only was it dull with diminished highs, breakup distortion came out of both channels on peaks, especially in the inner grooves. It sounded like a combination of limitations in the source master tape plus a bad remastering and/or pressing. I can't remember why I didn't just return it. So I took it out the other night for another spin only to renew my disapppointment. It sure looks impressive. It's on heavy weight vinyl and packaged nicely. There's technical info on the minimal processing used during the remaster. Why does it sound so bad?
