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):
Jon Lord composed this LP during the first six months of 1970.
This is the first pressing with laminated sleeve and inside opening along the inner spine.
'ELECTROLA GESELLSHAFT M.B.H. KOLN' along with legal text is printed across the top of the inside of the sleeve. There is no reference to EMI on the record labels.
Later pressings have 'EMI ELECTROLA' as per [r790548 and [r1173385, but these have just one line of text on right gatefold, top, while this version has two lines of text.
