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):

Kurt Harland:
"While continuing to play shows we managed to scrape together about $2000 to make the first InSoc recording: The InSoc E.P.

We printed 1000 copies of this, and sold perhaps 50. One local distributer said, after a few months, "Yeah, I'd actually appreciate it if you got them the hell out of here." I saved about 200, but over half of them were discarded and destroyed. It taught us that having an album didn't really mean much. What I wish we had understood better was that self-made albums are to be used for promoting the band. We should have made an effort to get these E.P.'s into the hands of people in the music business".
