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.

This is part of Polydor's Flashback Series launched in 1975. This was a series of budget compilations with the familiar photo negative motif on the front. There is no mention of Flashback on the cover or the label, alas. Original copies would have had a sticker with this fact on it. The LPs also do not carry a proper release date but instead repeat the original copyright date (in this case 1971) which causes confusion. This LP was actually released in 1975. The Flashback series ran 1975-78 approx and all major artists on Polydor have at least one Flashback album.
