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.

IMHO
The early UK pressing are the best and most expensive then the Japanese, then other European recordings and last are the US pressing. Mono is best in the same order. The Beatles records, all of them up to the White Album were recorded in mono then channeled or remixed into stereo. They were mixed to sound there best in mono because at that time young people listened to there music on mono transister radio's or on there car radio's that were mostly mono also. IMHO they sound best in mono not stereo.

Were you even alive when Sgt. Pepper's came out? You obviously don't know anything about it. The Sgt. Pepper's album was among the first to use multi-channel tape, and there was quite a bit of news about it at the time.

"John Lennon - "you haven't even heard Sgt Peppers till you've heard it in mono"

Don't make me laugh. He never said any such thing.
