Or the washed out color?

And the title typefaces are very different sized. But I also don’t know what they looked like on the OGs.
How does it compare to VMP?
I still can't believe I got an original mono press for $2. I mean, it's VG but sounds pretty damn good for that.

Good question - I have it but haven’t listened in a while. Will A/B for you and report back!How does it compare to VMP?

Different sources so should sound a bit different but would be curious to hear thoughts on differences too!

The Rhino 60th Green Onions comes in a nice glossy tip-on jacket. Sounds really great so far, I'll spin my Sundazed Kevin Gray next to see how it compares.

These are both pretty great. I'd give the edge to the Kevin Gray Sundazed though. It's a hotter cut, more aggressive sounding. Bernie's is more relaxed but more detailed and clear, not quite as much bottom end, but plenty bright. Guitar and snare sound really great on Bernie's.
Probably just a matter of preference, I'm sure many will prefer the new cut. Better packaging hands down at least, plus green vinyl.

i'm pleasantly surprised by this. that's a pretty big fuckup from somebody. maybe there IS hope for that bruce springsteen one step. really bummed i missed out on that one (can't remember if they cancelled it for people or not yet).
at least we didn't get sent a bag of zippers each!
I just got a delivery estimate update from Amazon with the old “we will email you as soon as we have a delivery date”. I’ve had these go both ways before. Only time will tell.

The KG copy sounds great.
The 3LP set is a tri-fold with some nice liner notes inside.
What is included with the 1step?

I’m kinda tempted to get this one to compare…y’all know how I feel about KG. the one step has liner notes/essay and the box which is pretty useless haha. But it does sound incredible. Mine is absolutely dead quiet and really dynamic. Very nice/thick jacket. It’s Bernie Cut/AAA and would be kinda curious to see how the KG compares if anybody gets both. I might try to pick up the KG in a sale or something but i one I’ll listen to the bonus discs once and never touch them again. I have all the craft one steps for now and really like them.
