Forgive me if this is unrelated: Can anyone comment on the rarity of double deep groove NY USA labels?

I have run into a mixed label with one deep groove before. I found a Blue Note 1521 with NY USA labels, and both clearly deep groove, RVG and Plastylite P in the dead wax.

I honestly thought deep groove NY USA Labels were very rare.

thanks Aaron, I had not looked at small pic.
there are different BN with this feature, the presence of DG on one or both sides after 4058.
I don’t think we’ll ever reach the full Truth for the very original.

dottorjazz,
If you use the zoom feature on the main picture of Am I Blue it clearly shows a DG on side 2 to me. The large picture of side 1 is clearly not, nor does the seller claim, DG. On a pressing from this era my personal feeling is that a DG is no guarantee of earlier pressing than non-DG, all other things being equal.

Green, Am I Blue: the seller emphasizes on DG on side two but doesn’t show the picture.
Fred states DG on side one only.
Is the buyer among us to confirm DG on side two?
