Appalachian Spring

Can anyone recommend an analog recording of Copland's classic?

I've come back to it regularly over the years. For a full orchestra performance, The Bernstein/NYP on Columbia is excellent as is the Copland performance also on Columbia. I like the Dorati/LSO performance on Mercury, but it doesn't quite get me at the emotional level like the other three mentioned.

The only recording that I have is a 1987 London cd of a 1976 performance by the LA Philharmonic; very engaging but I want to get a full analog LP.
