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.
Including tax.

General notes about this release (please note: our version may differ a little. see the comments above):
Produced by Roger Bain of Tuesday Productions, for Tony Hall Enterprises.
The 2nd UK press with ''swirl'' Vertigo big logo above spindle hole and the wording ''Vertigo'' below spindle hole but no 'A PHILIPS RECORD PRODUCT' text under.
Compared to the 3rd UK press, in this issue ‘BLACK SABBATH’ it is slightly moved to the right than the wording ‘VERTIGO’. ‘VO6 847 903 VTY’ and below ‘847 903 2Y’ lines are farther from the edg and decentralized. The last line is moved farther to the right than the other two above.
As the first issue, this second issue comes in a gatefold cover and with classic Vertigo ''swirl'' inner bag. The gatefold cover is slightly textured compared to later issues and the different upper-case only credits on inner gatefold.
Vertigo inner sleeve reports: 'MADE IN ENGLAND British Patent No. 800513 & 973939 - PLASTIC BAGS CAN BE DANGEROUS - TO AVOID SUFFOCATION KEEP THOS BAG AWAY FROM BABIES AND CHILDREN'.
The second issue (this release) and subsequent ''swirl'' Vertigo reissues has the corrected copyright warning “Copyright subsists in all Vertigo recordings…”, instead the first issue had the erroneous copyright warning “Copyright subsists in all Stereo recordings…”.
The second (this release) and first issue had band member and production credits in capital letters throughout. Subsequent ''swirl'' Vertigo reissues changed all credits into upper and lower case and also adds in composition and publishing credits.
All issues released on the ''swirl'' Vertigo all mis-spell Ozzy Osbourne as Ossie Osborne.
