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):

Taken from booklet:
"(...) It started off in Darryl Neudorf's Miller Block studio, where some of the drum tracks were recorded, and it was finished by our man John Collins at Rodney Graham's place. Somewhere in there Dave Carswell helped with the production, too. Mastering was done by Todd Simko, at Chateau Shag. (...) All the songs were written by Carl of Dan. Fisher Rose drummed on 4 of 'em, guess which ones. Kurt Dahle drummed on the rest (...). Davidian Chorley played saxophone on The Mary Martin Show and The Body Says No. Blaine Thurier played a bunch of keyboards. John Collins produced, engineered, played bass, and several other instruments. Dan Bejar and Carl Newman played a bunch of instruments, it's hard to remember who played what, it was all a blaze of pipe organ, wurlitzer, mini korg, and what have you. Carl, Dan, Kurt, and Neko Case sang in various lead and background vocal capacities. The end vocals on Breakin' The Law were sung by the Camp Northstar kids' chorus. (...) All this artwork layout was done by Randy Iwata. The photos were taken by Shannon Oksanen, (...)."

Booklet doesn't give the lyrics, but the key sentence for each song.
