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.

First UK issue, second pressing, with SHSP 4020 A-2 / B-2 runout matrices (additional letters and/or digits are mother/stamper identifiers).
This second cut is the first corrected pressing, quickly re-cut and issued after the initial A-1 / B-1 copies ([r=11553286) were found to have a mastering error causing excessive sibilance. The error is discussed by the band in the "Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii" film.
Original sleeve has pinched ends to the spine, with matte-finished textured sleeve and rounded corners.
