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):
The sleeve lists only Elvis Costello whilst the label lists Elvis Costello & The Attractions.
Issued under license from Riviera Global Productions.
Inner sleeve with pictures.
First 5,000 included freebie single with sticker on front cover.
This version has deliberate sleeve printing offset by about 1 inch so that the spine appears on the back and a printer's colour chart appears on the front.
The original LPs contained the following text etched next to the run-off groove on side 1: "Special pressing No. 003 Ring Moira on 434 3232 for your special prize". The first few people (believed to be limited to 1000) who phoned in received a 10" x 8" photo (with printed autograph and written message "Thanks for writing. I'm busy in Paradise right now") and a badge with the text "Elvis Costello. This Year's Model. Made In 1955 For 1984".
Note sequence of matrix/runout identifiers: the etchings and stampings are not neatly aligned, so order may vary from copy to copy.
