Recommendation: Gould Well-Tempered Clavier LP set

I'm looking to put together a nice set of the WTC for weekly use on my turntable. I'm not sure which albums belong together, so I though I'd ask here. I noticed that one can get 6 different LPs, or two three-disc sets. However, I'm not sure even if the two three-disc sets belong together... One I've seen is 1972 COLUMBIA Records D3M 31525 (the first half) and D3S 733 (the second half), but I'm assuming the "M" and "S" refer to mono and stereo... anyways, my question is what would you guys recommend for someone who wants a good copy of the WTC by Gould...

Thanks,
-Marc

A suggestion,for what it is worth,remember VOX BOXES?

Harpsichordist Martin Galling recorded the complete keybord works of Bach for Vox.

The first three lp set includes the two part inventions,the three part inventions,and the WTC I.

Ralph Kirkpatrick recorded the WTC I and II for DG,on a clavichord.

In addition to a Gould piano set,a harpsichord set,and a clavichord set are intersting to have to compare similarities and differences---in addition to their musical value as stand alone sets.
