OVERALL: Draw

Any of the new 2-disc SE releases, for the added contextual material. However, do note that the original R2 UK and R4 releases have the original mono track too (along with the 5.1 remix).

If you´re a real fan, you might want to have one of the (R1, R2 UK/German) box sets (with CD, booklet, and senitype image).

Versions:
Although the film was originally released in America in its uncut version (with an 'X' rating), in 1973 it was replaced by an 'R' rated version which was slightly re-edited (with some very minor cuts and substitutions totalling around 30s).

However, all of the available DVD releases (including the American releases, which carry the 'R' rating on the packaging) contain the original 'X' rated version of the film.
