Best Respighi Pines of Rome

Perhaps this belongs in the "Music" forum, but I'm looking for vinyl only so here goes...I just picked up a used Living Presence of Respighi's Pines of Rome. First and only release of this for me, was only $4 and in decent condition.

After Disc Doctor, the recording has more background noise relative to other used purchases I have made, and I'm wondering if there might be another release recommended among those that you have experience with.

Any and all suggestions (except going to CD) appreciated.

4Yankx..Hmmmm....It is not good enough to be worth breaking the seal, then maybe it is not worth anything sealed??!! Just a thought.

This a digital recorded LP that is also on CD.
This is a colorful piece, so the digital master brings it out, not to mention this is a very good permformance (IMO).
It also includes "The Fountains" and "Roman Festivals". Most LP sets usually have just The Fountains.

Other good choices on LP are (in no particular order)...

Von Karajan, Berlin Phil., Deutche Grammophon 2531 055

Charles Munch, New Philharmonia, London Jubilee 41024

Ormandy, Philadelphia, CBS Records MY 38485

Feccia, New Philharmonia, Quintessence 7058

And the Reiner recommended above on: RCA ATL1-4040
