Which edition do you like best?

Which edition do you like best?
I have the original edition that was released in 1985 and the one from Albert Hall in 1995. I like the latter. The original edition is a little weird, it seemed in a way something to be some amateur local school play, compared to the one from Albert Hall. IMO.
Your opinions?

Edition? lol.

I like the CSR best. =)

Damn, and here I thought we'd be having a Wilbour vs. Fahnestock/Macafee flamewar.

We could start one...

Be marginally original, at least.

I'm partial to Fahnestock/Macafee for readability, but there is just no substitute for Wilbourisms. I note that the F/MA version changed "I have come to sleep with you" to something innocuous.

I've only read the Lee Fahnestock/Norman MacAfee translation.

I have this abridged paperback version (with a green cover) but can't locate it now. Have no idea who translated that one, but I started reading it years ago and never finished it.
