Beethoven 9th by Solti, best LP pressing ?


Folks,
There is a speakers corner reissue of Solti conducting Beethoven 9th symphony and also there is the original decca 1972 pressing of the same. Which is the one to buy ? Normally the original pressings are preferred, is it true even for this album ?

Secondly there is a box set of all 9 Beethoven Symphonies by Solti, I guess it is a 1980 release. Is it worth going for this box set ? I mean is it a good pressing or should I go for individual Solti symphonies ?

Also, the complete box set from US London records will drive you crazy because of the side breaks. For example, Symphony No 3 Eroica is on three sides. YMMV, but I've been disappointed in the sound quality of many Speakers Corner reissues. 

The Mobile Fidelity is best by far. 
Thanks. I picked up the UK Decca pressing.

I was also thinking of getting a Mahler symphony series of LPs. Which conductor would you recommend ?
Tilson-Thomas, Bernstein & Rattle all are worthy contenders. Cheers,
Spencer
