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.

General notes about this release (please note: our version may differ a little. see the comments above):
<i>A Quick One</i> was originally released as Reaction 593 002 on December 3, 1966. It reached #4 in the U.K. In the U.S. the release was held back until May 1967. The album was retitled <i>Happy Jack</i> partly because the 'Happy Jack' single had been a minor hit for The Who there and partly because Decca, their U.S. record company objected to the <i>double entendre</i> in the original title. Released as Decca DL4892 (mono), DL74892 (stereo) it peaked at #51. <i>Happy Jack</i> was the same album as <i>A Quick One</i> except 'Heatwave' was replaced by ' Happy Jack'.
The <i>Ready Steady Who!</i> EP was released in the U.K. as Reaction 592001 on December 11, 1966.
<i>Tracks 1 to 10 are from the original release. Tracks 11 to 14 are from the "Ready Steady Who!" EP. Tracks 15 to 17 are single B-sides. Tracks 19 and 20 are previously unreleased.</i>
