What is the original source (and what time period)?

But are there any other lossy formats that get frequencies up to there? What purpose would there be to master something like that, when it can't possible have any positive effect?
The album is from this year and was recorded the previous year I believe.

No, CDs go from 20khtz up to 22 htz - the standard frequency range for CD/44.1. If you check 99% of CDs, the frequencies will cut off abruptly at 22 - not gradually before it.
