Best Respighi Pines of Rome


Perhaps this belongs in the "Music" forum, but I'm looking for vinyl only so here goes...I just picked up a used Living Presence of Respighi's Pines of Rome. First and only release of this for me, was only $4 and in decent condition.

After Disc Doctor, the recording has more background noise relative to other used purchases I have made, and I'm wondering if there might be another release recommended among those that you have experience with.

Any and all suggestions (except going to CD) appreciated.

Sugarbrie, I guess it is my bad for failing to use a silly "smilie", since no one can see the tongue what was placed in my cheek. It is simply an LP I've had on the shelf for some time and wondering if anyone knows if it is a good performance. On the other hand, if it IS a good performance, it might be have more value to an avid Respighi lover than to me. Just a another thought.
I have a sealed Philips digital LP copy of Edo de Waart conducting the San Francisco Symphony on this piece. Pines, Festivals... Anyone know if this performance/recording is worth breaking the seal? :-)
