What is a repressed vinyl record?

A repressed vinyl record is a new pressing of an existing album that has previously been released on vinyl. This can occur when there is renewed interest in the album, demand from fans, or to commemorate a special anniversary. Represses can feature the same artwork and tracklist as the original, but may also include variations like colored vinyl or remastered audio. They provide collectors and new listeners with the opportunity to own a copy of a record that may have been out of print.
