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.

Some copies of 'variant 1' had the cat number OVED106 on a sticker over the original V2261 suggesting old stock being sold, these records are in the gatefold, die cut cover with the original Telegraph dark labels so are quite distinct from the new stock OVED106 with the Virgin labels.
Variant 5 has Telegraph labels and the OVED 106 - sticker on the cover.
