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):

Additional Info from "Transacord: Sounds Of Steam" by Mark Jones states:
This was originally assigned the Catalogue Number DA 115 but, Instead, became the first release on the (Z)TR catalogue sequence. This has caused a great deal of confusion, mainly because the 1970 Transacord 'Sounds of Steam' catalogue lists this release under the DA 115 number. The most likely reason for this is that the 1970 catalogue was compiled prior to the LP's release in November 1969 (evidence for this is the mention of the Retail Price Index, from which records became exempt in November 1969), at which point the catalogue number change had probably not been decided.
