I'd rate them like this:
Ludwig and Classic in a dead heat.
MoFi.
AT/GP repressing post Warner/Atlantic merger (has the Warner logo at the bottom of the label).
Jimmy Page.
UK plum (which sounded dull).
"LW" US 1841 Broadway pressing which was pretty bad, IMO.
The only one I have left is the Jimmy Page pressing and I'll be selling it soon.
I just can't bring myself to listen to Led Zep anymore. After 50 years, enough. Never liked them that much in the first place.

The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.

My Jimmy Page LZII and LZIV remastered LPs are both in my outbox. I enjoy Jimmy Page remasters on the CDs with bonus tracks.

  They've taken a lot of heat from audiophiles, and they don't have the slam of the expensive pressings or reissues, but they're still good copies to have.
  I've just soured on a lot of the "music of my life," stuff I've been playing since high school. Planning a big purge in the near future.

    I suppose they are good but they sound more like the Jimmy & Robert show than Led Zeppelin to me. I have the full JP remaster collection on CDs with the bonus tracks and that's more than enough JP remasters for me. I tried a couple of the remasters on vinyl and don't think they are worth taking up the shelf space which is always at a premium for me. Don't really like Jimmy Page (still buying Robert Plant records though) so maybe that has something to with it.
    
    I've been purging records that no longer interest me since I started buying records.

      I'm done with it. Been listening to it for too many years, it's ubiquitous, and I have no interest in playing any records from Bad Company, or the Who, or LZ, Allman Brothers, Buckingham-Nicks era Fleetwood Mac, etc.
      I'll keep jazz, punk, country, records by current bands. Everything else must go.

        It's just one of several different era's of pop/rock music represented in my collection. I like punk, country and alt-country, folk, alternative and indie rock/pop, blues, rock, pop, r&b, funk soul and have small collections of jazz and reggae records. Spanning from the 50s thru the 2020s. And I'm sure there is plenty I've missed and will never discover.
        
        Sure I get tired of hearing from folks who seem to think 70s mainstream was a pinnacle of something and all else pretty much sucks. But there is some music in there that I like and still enjoy spinning.
