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):
Album cover designed for 3d Glasses.
Although this release is similar to the other U.S. release seen here: [r7998586, there are stark contrasts.
-fonts used look the same, however, one release has them larger. For instance, cat.#, label matrix #, side(s) indicators.
-fonts also look more "bold" on this release compared to the other U.S. copy.
-this release has the record title under the band name on labels, the other, title is above the band name.
-a completely different font is used between them when it comes to the production credits at the bottom of the labels. Now,
-I'm not a printer or typesetter, but they certainly look different to me. The one thing that is obvious, is at the bottom of the label.
-this release shows " ℗1981 MCA" on one line.. and the other release shows " ℗1981" on one line.
-this release has a label matrix # spaced between "MCA" & "2817". Also, no parentheses.The other, no space w/parentheses.
The one thing that they do have in common, besides the barcode, is "Wisefield" is spelled incorrectly as "Weisfield" on
-the rear cover sleeve, in the liner notes.
