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):
Producer of the A-side is incorrectly credited as John Leckie, who originally recorded a version of the song at Abbey Road during the Go 2 sessions. That version was rejected by the record company and was only released on some early test pressings, some of which were sent to radio stations.
Release Notes:
This edition has a solid centre, unlike this version.
The '21' part of the A-side etchings, are mirrored.
A. Are You Receiving Me 3:20B. Instant Tunes 2:28
