Hi cspiegs
There are about a couple different versions, depending on country of release. The original UK EMI SLS 992 is a 3 disc set that was actually recorded in quadrophonic sound. My understanding is that there is also a German, non-quad EMI version which is 2 LPs.
I have to dig out my copy, but my recollection was that the UK EMI was a nice sounding record - not the last word in dynamics, but instrumental timbres were reasonably well represented. It is also pretty easy to find in NM- condition for $20-$30.
I have not heard (or even seen) the DMM version to which you refer, but I have a hard time believing it would outperform the original EMI.
