Which version do you have?

The higher priced Standard versions, up to $22, likely reflect differences in pressing quality, packaging, or scarcity, though this data is limited. If you just want the music affordably, the $6 is fine. However, serious collectors willing to pay up for the higher-priced Standard versions are seeking better condition or more desirable pressings.
