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):
Numbered edition, limited to 500 copies!
Different writing of title of track A on front cover and label (and back cover): Rock 'n' Roll Romance (front cover) vs. Rock-N-Roll Romance (back cover and label).
A-side: originally released in 1956 as an Academy 78 RPM flexi-disc (unnumbered), distributed with every Orange Crush sixpack. Orange Crush was the soda bottling subsidiary of Pepsi Cola.
Bear Family announcement end of November 2018: An error occurred while transferring the tapes and instead of the Flexi-Disc 'Academy' recording from 1956 the 'Lucky Four Version' from 1961 landed on the press.
Bear Family has now included the correct version as a one-sided single in the original look (small center hole). The additional one-sided single is now delivered together with the regular Bear Family single. Buyers who have already bought the record can get the additional single for free. It's delivered in a generic white paper sleeve.
B-side: originally released in 1957 as Academy 2571.
