I don't wish to sell mine, but I do see quite a lot on Discogs from £69 with postage, see https://www.discogs.com/sell/release/4288776?ev=rb

It's not my favourite mastering.

Thanks Roger, what is your favourite mastering? I do not want to pay the silly prices asked for the solid blue triangle 1st press

I bought a recent copy on vinyl and it was total crap. Washed out and thin sounding.

I would love a decent copy like the original I let go in 1983 when I went into CD. What a massive mistake!

Doh!!

Hi Graham In what way are the MOFI recordings better? I have found some of their pressings too overally clinical

[GJO]

The dynamic range is greatly improved,The Wall on the gold ultradisc is frightening,I also would agree the later MOFI's I have heard sound thin and sterile,they seem to have lost the boogie factor,I guess it' could be down to the only source available now is digital.

Any UK pressing from the 70s is very good. The French disc en color version is good. 30th anniversary really didn't impress yet I enjoyed the 40th and the most recent remaster.

Just pick up a UK 70's pressing, don't stress over which one and you should find a copy (possibly without stickers and posters) for £10. I bought a 2nd pressing this morning for £10, there are plenty out there.
