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.

General notes about this release (please note: our version may differ a little. see the comments above):

White writing on black circular sticker, on front of case, reads: NEW EDITION Remastered and now featuring "Extended Play" bands. See tracklisting for details.

My Aim Is True was recorded at Pathway Studios, Islington in a total of 24 hours' studio time and at a cost of £2000. As I still had my 'day-job,' these sessions had to take place on 'sick days' and holidays during late 1976 and early 1977.

Both "Radio Sweetheart" and "Stranger In The House" two of only three "out-takes" from My Aim Is True (the other, a version of "Living in Paradise", is also lost).

Track 16 features the band Flip City. There is no personnel listing for this session, but it is included with thanks to all long-term serving band members: Mich Kent (Bass), Malcolm Dennis or Ian Powling (Drums), Steve Hazelhurst (Guitar) and Dickie Faulkner (Percussion). (Also Mike Whelan and Ken Smith)."
