Looks like you can get either one used on amazon.com for about five bucks. There may be no difference at all, but given a choice between pre- and post- 1995 issued CDs, I always pick the later one. IMO there were some big improvements in CD mastering in the mid 90s.
Online prices of OOP CDs often make very little sense. A seller can set a very high price on the theory that somewhere in the world there is a collector desperate enough to pay it. But digital files can always be re-released years later with no loss in sound quality.
