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.

The Decca has been reissued by Speakers Corner, I believe. Got one coming to me. Also have the UHQR of this recording, will be interesting to compare and see how much MFSL jacked up the bass. I also prefer the Reiner recording (the Classic reissue is stunning), and the Frescia is a very good interpretation and was released years ago on CD by Chesky, but sounds a little thin and steely even with the decent Chesky transfer.
