I got my clear copy of Lost In Translation today and I have to say that the sound quality is fantastic, very close to the original and maybe just a tiny bit less dynamic but that can just be my imagination. The surface noise on is much less than on my original copy, which has a steady surface noise on side b.
I bought a used original copy last year including the promo 7" with Bill Murray's karaoke for 65 € shipped. The vinyl looks to have been played a lot but is still fine, so I wonder how other original copies sound. There was this listing on ebay where the seller elaborates on the noise problem (I always thought that I just had a worn out copy):

There is some difference in colours, the photos of the bootleg are a bit blurry and the type is bolder but the included printed insert is a really nice bonus.
There's already a yellow bootleg going for a lot on ebay:

Yes, I love this movie and the soundtrack. If you can still find a cheap copy of this you should definitely buy it.
