Is the Track label the one to get for Who's Next?

Was wondering if the track one is the one to get...have read good things about it and the original decca and the "heavy vinyl" MCA and of course the 180 and 200g one.  Thoughts??

Here's a cool site I found recently when researching what might be the best copy of Sells Out.  Can't agree or disagree with the opinions expressed, but IMO the info gathered and reported is impressive.

Clean W1 Deccas are not that easy to find. I've owned a pretty good one (but not quite good enough) which took me a long time to find and ended up just biting the bullet and buying the Classic Records 140 gram, which is easily found for around $22.

The Classic is very, very good; some argue better than the W1. I'm not sure I'd say better across the board but it is definitely better in some areas than the W1 and a great listen.

For those not wanting to search for years for a mint Decca W1, the Classic is a no brainer.
