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!!

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.

Another +vote for the original CD. Sounds very good to these ears. I was thinking that there is a Sony "gold" CD
pressing of this title.

Keep me posted & Happy Listening!

I tried Japanese pressing Boston and it sounded more like juke box only pressings.

Hi all, I'm new and joined to discuss Boston vinyl quality. I find the self titled album hard to listen too, way too much wall of sound going on for me. I use a pioneer sx-980 with klipsch forte ii speakers and a pioneer 9500 EQ. I can describe the sound as shrill, bright, no depth, weak. mish mash all run together. Since it appears I am the only one hearing this do any of you have any advice please?
I get the best sound from Blondies greatest hits 180 gm album, original 1976 Blue Ostyer Cult, Jeff Beck wired to name a few. Thanks!
