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):
This version pressed at [l495875, as indicated by the script 'ARP' stamp in its runouts (other matrix information is etched). As ARP burned down in 1972, this will be either a first pressing regional variant (unlike the others, there are no Sterling markings) or a very early repress.
Its labels are set in a serif font, unlike the US promo and other documented US pressings, whose sans-serif font matches the UK Dandelion labels.
Catalogue number is hyphenated on the sleeve but unhyphenated on labels.
Title appears as 'Ear of Beholder' on sleeve front and spine, but 'Ear of the Beholder' on all labels.
B4 appears on the label' as 'Conversation With Children / Jamaican Rumba', and on the sleeve as '4a. Conversation' & '4b. Mango Walk'. The correct title for Benjamin's song is 'Jamaican Rumba', which is derived from a folk song called 'Do Mango Walk'.
C1 appears on the label as 'Rasa - Moods', and on the sleeve as 'Rasa Moods'.
D7 appears on the label as 'That's Why Darkies Were Born', and on the sleeve as 'Dat's Why Darkies Were Born'.
'Kirwin Dear' is an alias for Kevin Ayers.
'Robert of Dulwich' is an alias for Robert Wyatt.
