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):
This Edition has a brown/beige label with pink/purple mirrored Virgin and purple Virgin logo
Recorded at the Manor except the guitar which was recorded at the Kington Studio. Mixed at Morgan Studios. The singing was recorded by the Manor Mobile in The Queen's College Hall (with the permission of the principal, Mrs. Stephanie Fierz), the Church Organ was recorded at St. Giles Church, Cripplegate.
The narration is taken from the prose gloss which Coleridge added to his poem for the 1817 edition. This composition is not intended as a literal musical illustration of the entire poem. It is rather an attempt to evoke the mood and atmosphere of certain crucial episodes. The music which opens and closes the piece (and indeed recurs throughout) is an arrangement of Tielman Susato's Basse Danse 'La mourisque' published in 1561. The song on Side 2 is my arrangement of a traditional sea-shanty 'The Rio Grande'.
