What determines the price?

Why is one record cheaper than another?

Some albums were released in multiple versions (pressings). There is the first pressing, which can be very valuable to collectors. When that stock runs out, a new pressing is made, called a repress or re-issue. These are often slightly different, such as a different sleeve or heavier vinyl.

Sometimes older albums are remastered, improving the sound quality. A new pressing is made for this as well. Differences in artwork or small production errors can also make a specific version more attractive.

What makes the difference in price?

For records that are not new, the market value is determined by scarcity and the condition of both the record and the sleeve. Pricing is based on supply and demand, and whether a version is limited or numbered.

Which variant should I choose?

If it’s mainly about the music, a repress is a good choice. An original or numbered edition has a different kind of appeal.

Digital mastering, 1999, by Erick Labson at MCA Music Media Studios, and Jeff Willens at Universal Music Studios-East
Except for the four selections from the 1939 recording session, this compilation has been prepared by transfers to digital tape from the original Commodore acetate master discs. Of those four tracks, recorded before acetate masters were in general use, "Strange Fruit" was the only one with a still-usable original metal part. "Yesterdays" and "I Gotta Right to Sing the Blues" were transferred from Commodore test pressings, and "Fine and Mellow" from a 78 rpm shellac record provided by Steven Lasker.
