What is the best LP version of Quadrophenia ?


I have the original 1973 MCA LP but it has a scratch on it. It's a great sounding record and I could live with it, but was wondering if any of the newer pressings are as good or better. I also have it on cd and blue ray audio, but the LP is way better. I would appreciate any feed back on this.

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
