My bad, the link goes to the last 2 of 52 items.... see the previous pages.. point being some vinyl are tenfold the cost.
I've seen TS gimping out about Search and Destroy and I know there are other infamous historic (burn) examples of bad and good album pressings, all fascinating but I am mainly talking about if I want to buy a contemporary record.
Why not go to Amazon or Ebay and buy the first/cheapest one (obvs condition aside)?

In that particular example, one is cd and one is vinyl?
As for pressings, wait for tonslain to tell you about the requirement for search and destroy.
People that did vinyl - there are always differences in machinery and technician. There's one guy in London who was well loved for being loud and clear. I can't remember who. Await dubtap to drop knowledge bombs.
Then the other side, ha, is something trax in Chicago that press this shiftily, quickly and badly (reused vinyl?) But the tracks were so raw and in demand that it was just part of the noise.
