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.

General notes about this release (please note: our version may differ a little. see the comments above):

The B-side label of the 7" single mistakenly lists Thunderwing as the first song, followed by Lady. The correct playing order is Lady, then Thunderwing. Digital downloads and CD editions of the single perpetuate the original error, as Thunderwing now plays before Lady.

℗ 1972 Wizard Artists Limited.
Made in Gt Britain.
Runouts are stamped, except for the parts "Bobil" and "AUNTY.B" which are etched.
