Sorry but this sound battle is really personal...
I used to think and feel that Toshiba LNJ version of Out To Lunch sounds better than the King Record version. Or I should say I prefer the LNJ sound than the King Record one for the Out To Lunch. But I never did the comparison.
So, that is what I did.
The audio sample I picked up are three,
1. Toshiba LNJ version
2. King GXK version
3. King Premium reissue
Well...Just listen to them and give me your feedback!
Lnj has the widest soundstage and very detailed.
GXK sound very realistic. Very smooth instruments.
No3 (King) sound a little better than no2 – not much, just a little.

Matze, thanks for your comment and observation!
LNJ very detailed, “in your face”, maybe a little bit (too) bright (?) , especially the saxophone; but engaging. KIng Record Premium is very nice, “smooth”, i think i like it, for a relaxing listening ( nice tonal balance )
