I have a Japanese pressing and I like it quite a lot. Some say they are not as good as others, but they are super quiet. I certainly agree with the quiet part - the vinyl is quite silent. As for the sound quality otherwise, I think is very respectable. The price was also reasonable. Not cheap for a near mint copy, but far cheaper than the classic records version of course.

I have several Robert Ludwig Mastered Original First Press Releases on Discogs starting at $299 https://www.discogs.com/sell/item/946156717 |
An "under-the-radar", original ANALOG copy alternative to the Ludwig first pressing WHICH BEST preserves the same impact of it was: a reel to reel tape issued of II (all the Zep albums; from 1 through "Houses of the Holy" had come out on such what was considered the pre-digital-era audiophile format) in October 1969. Since it's sort of a collector's novelty and has gotten a "reputation" around the Web of proving to be an overlooked sonic surprise (it's, also, the only commercially formatted release to have included the subtitle: "The Only Way to Fly"), I would like to share a 16/44 WAV cloudfile from my copy of that tape. side 1 https://mega.nz/file/iR911Sjb#594K-7zCNYXwoWdgm0ZjMMDlhW4DHcAF3W_FnmxO6co side 2 https://mega.nz/file/bR9nRSQS#IjE8XYoQA8QxvU5LFBdIl89hgAoiRGVwcpAHfBmVjcw |
