Recommended Pressing of Sgt Pepper's

I have the mid-1970s release on Capitol. I am ready to invest in a new pressing, and i could use a recommendation on which to look for. I am aware of the MoFi UHQR version, but the price tag on those is a bit extreme. I see that elusivedisc has a recent EMI remastered pressing for sale ($35), but i am not familiar with it.

Thanks for any guidance.

Look for the DTS upmix, sounds great, no tick and pops.

Be patient and look for a UK first pressing.

It will be worth the wait and expense.

Theare are 2 MFSL (non UHQR) versions using different producers. Both are very quiet but the dynamics do not match the original UK release.

Good luck.
