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.

On the cover only, track A6 is incorrectly numbered as A5 and all tracks on side C are erroneously numbered C1 and on side D as D1.
For that reason a postcard is inserted in the sleeve saying:
"Dear WHAM! Fan
Our record company has drawn to our attention that the gatefold sleeve of the double vinyl album release of 'WHAM! The Singles - Echoes from the Edge of Heaven' features incorrectly numbered track listings for sides A, C and D, for which they apologise. The track titles and running order are correct. We were given the option to have the printed sleeves destroyed and reprinted at no cost to us, but at a time when we are all striving to consume less of the world's finite resources, we asked the label to put the erroneously numbered sleeves into circulation and to correct the numbering on future runs.
Yours
Andrew Ridgeley and George Michael Entertainment"
Also, the Side C label shows tracks C1-C3 are engineered by Tony Taverner, but the inner sleeve shows it would be Chris Porter.
Barcode sticker is on shrink-wrap and placed to cover the printed cover barcode.
Runouts are stamped, except "JWM" on side A, which is etched.
