Best vinyl of "Who's Next"


I have the MCA 1/2 speed masterphile record and I think its very detailed but to some degree maybe a little to much so. The Lowry organ sounds fantastic but the cymbles have a lot of sibilence. Overall all I like the sound in which what I would call aggressive. I also have the Classic Record Quiex vinyl as well. It is much more mellow but not as detailed. With the MCA, you can hear the acoustic guitar fade out in the middle right before the organ comes in on "Won't Get Fooled Again". I also played it with the CD and the speed is a little slower. I also have a 2nd or 3rd pressing of the original record which sounds quite good, Which versions that you have heard sound the best?

I have a few and my preference is the UK Track version mastered by Dennis “Bilbo” Blackham.

Much as I love the music, IMHO asking for the best mastering of a conventionally produced rock record is a bit like asking what the finest entree is at McDonalds, YMMV. Which leads me to say that I would be happy with any LP copy of this.
