For example the first stereo pressing of 1311 (Giant Steps) was the "bullseye" label while the first stereo pressing of 1325 (Pyramid) was on the green label, both monos of course being on the black label. Rudolf,

The non DG is more rare and better quality then the DG press.You will see about 20-1 DG to Non DG.

Do both the deep groove and non-deep groove copies you have share the same deadwax etchings?

I like the sound of the non deep groove version better though they both sound similar. Both are far superior to the 2nd bullseye pressing and later ones. I wasn't particularly fond of this lp til I got my hands on a first pressing. Its great!
