Audiophile Boston pressing?

Can anyone advise whether high quality pressings of Boston's first two albums are available? I can't find that MFSL, Simply Vinyl or other such companies has ever offered these albums. Failing that, is anyone aware if 180g pressings are available? I have seen a Japanese pressing or two offered on eBay, but was not sure of the quality. What is the best example available?? Many thanks!!

I tried an original pressing from Better Records, a CBS half-speed, and the MFSL half-speed. Of the three the original was by far the best IMO. Try a few originals to find the best one.

Sorry to reboot an old thread, but I'm listening to a Wally pressing of the self-titled album, and this is just a superb recording of hard rock.

I have two of each of them. Originals. I am taking them to the grave!

Saw them live again this summer for the sixth time. Always a great concert band.

The best ones I have on vinyl are in this order:
Japanese, best overall sound.
American original, good but bass could be better.
Fridays Music, good bass.
MFSL, Crap, very muddy compared to all above.
Bostons first album I feel was over processed especially compared to an acetate 45 I have.
