New Vinyl or Old Vinyl ?

I am after a pink Floyd album (  Dark side of the Moon ) . There are some new resissue albums out on the market but there are plenty of older ones being sold . What would be the best one to go for to get the best sound quality . Most of the older ones are asking for more money . 
Any help would be great .
kind regards

U.K. and German first pressings are amazing. I've heard that the Japan pressing is likewise stellar, but aren't they always?

I am not a fan of remastering, especially if the original artist is not involved.  Yes you hear different things but that is because the original artist didn't want the second guitar brought up, or the harmonizing keyboard, or the etc.etc.etc...  

Get a clean 1st addition and you're home free.

Do I really  need nine copies of Bruebeck's Jazz Impressions of The U.S.A. including a mint promo copy?  Nope, but I have them. It seems as though over the years, they just kept showing up.
