Cat Stevens Tea for the Tillerman LP's

There are seemingly numerous pressings/labels of the Cat Stevens Tea for the Tillerman LP. Well known, of course ,is the MFSL Japanese pressing and the UHQR version .
What are the various pressings/ hot stampers that you like and which one's are to stay away from?

If your a fan you might want to look for a limited edition of the full soundtrack for "Harold and Maude" Lp box that had a number of tracks only on movie soundtrack.Hoping they come out with CD of same (maybe have) because it was a like a 1000 or 2000 pressing and got snapped up.I got it online with crappy sound for free but would love the LP.

The UK Island pressing I recently purchased is an excellent pressing and I prefer it the MOFI pressing.

i reinforce Rwwear's recommendation. i have one of tom's copies (a brown label) and it shreds all 8 or 10 other copies i have, including the uhqr.

I own the brown label, UK reissue and the MoFi. The brown sounds the best. The UK reissue sounds to be recorded in a different key (listen closely to the intro of "Sad Lisa"). I do like what the MoFi brings to the recording too (although it can sound a bit thin).
