Best sounding Supertramp's "Breakfast in America"

I am looking to replace a used vinyl copy of SuperTramp's "Breakfast in America" I have read a few customer reviews on Amazon which claim the Mobile Fidelity Gold CD is disappointing In addition, the 2002 remastered version has gotten mixed reviews I also read that the 2005 MLPS issue of this album was the best. What is MLPS or mlps??? Need some advice on replacing this excellent album.

SHM stands for Super High Material. Which is Japan speak for the improved products used in the manufacturing process.
SHM-CDs are compatible with regular CDs but they are expensive.

The SHM-CDs are expensive and, except for SHM embossed on the jewel case, they are not labeled as such. What are they made from -- what is the source file or medium they use to create these discs, does anyone know?
