DSOTM on Vinyl


My 1978 Mobile Fidelity DSOTM is starting to show its age; I’ve played it MANY times.

What do feel is the best version of this album available today on vinyl?

Neither of the 2 (block and italics lettering) Mobile Fidelity pressings are very good. My favs:
Original UK
Original US
UK Centenary (Harvest 8556731)
Japanese Pro Series (EMI EMLF 97002)
UK 30th Anniversary (Harvest SHVL804)

The original British and German Quad releases are very good but mixed quite differently than their stereo brothers. You’ll need to search eBay or record shows for the aforementioned list.

I haven’t heard any current releases, 18 copies of one album is plenty and I doubt anything new meets or exceeds what I have.

FWIW, the Japanese SACD is excellent.  

Good luck.
