Which Recording?

I've decided that I'm going to buy the soundtrack to the Music Man. However, when I went on to Amazon to listen to the sound clips, I discovered that there are 4 different versions that are easily obtainable:

The 2000 revival cast recording
The Original cast recording
The 1962 soundtrack recording
Disney Presents the Music Man

I was wondering if any of the four is obviously better, or if not which you all would recommend.

I'm a fan of the 2000 Revival.
The Disney version sucks.
A lot of the songs seem to be spoken.
The highlight of the Disney version is def. "Wells Fargo Wagon."

I would personally go with either the Disney or 2000 Cast Recording. Kristin Chenoweth steals the show with her solos on the Disney Cast. The 2000 Cast is very well done. For some reason I like the "current" recordings because the music seems more upbeat and full. The Original Braodway Cast Recordings are great as well
