What is the best LP version of Quadrophenia ?

Try to get a vintage German pressing! All the various LPs I had from there were top-notch! Particularly the Decca Tommy! I am awaiting the arrival of Live At Leeds! 

I prefer original pressings (even if a bit worn) over new ones made from digital files!

I just found 6 German Track LPs on Ebay. Rather pricey - $48 + $13 postage. But there is a seventh for $30 + $11. That's a good deal! But it has a time limit of 7 hours!

What is "best"? 

Arguably  a period  British Track is what is an "original" Your MCA is already several iterations from "the truth" but doesnt necessarily mean inferior sounding. 

Quadrophenia is a favorite, and gets play time  now and then. IMO reissues are always disappointing once you hear a good period press. Reissues are for unobtanioum and convenience.

Patience, and persistence rewarded me with a period Track years ago. 

My favorite is "The Punk meets the Godfather" with the volume at about 1:00.  Good times

Also two Classic 2007 pressings for $195 and $199. Pass on those!

 Thanks for the info. I followed your advice and ordered one of the vintage German pressings from Ebay. Can't wait to check it out. Thanks again.

Definitely good times.

I received my German Track LP of Quadrophenia for 36.99 + shipping and tax ordered on Ebay . Yes, this is the best and I am really enjoying it. Thanks roberjerman.

I'm currently listening to a UK/Track. I own the Universal re-master from maybe 10+ years ago. Haven't compared lately. The UK version sounds very good, better than my memory of it. I think I paid around $32.00 from the UK several years ago. It is surprisingly quiet which makes for a much better listening experience.

I'd rate the UK version, @ 9.

Cool. How does the Universal sound?

@robert53,

I'll have to re-listen.
