The fact you have 90 in insane in itself View attachment 90331
it surprised even me to be honest. But i guess when you consider he worked on a bunch of VMP stuff, the BN Tone Poets, BN80s, some APs...my man is everywhere. You might be surprised how many you own too! There were a few that I had no idea he did, like Shabazz Palaces - Black Up and Jens Lekman - Night Falls Over Kortedala.
 
Ok, looking at a Deep Discount order. I've got the following Classic Rock titles in the cart.

Santana - Abraxas
T. Rex - Electric Warrior
Talking Heads - 77
Van Morrison - His Band and Street Choir

A couple questions before I smash the order button:

- Pretty sure those four are all AAA KG/RTI. Is that correct?
- Any other AAA titles I should be considering (that are hard to find elsewhere)? If I relapsing I might as well go all out.
- @Mather Have you gotten hit with duty with orders from Deep Discount?

No duty no, however my orders have all been only one or two albums. But they ship USPS so it may not be an issue either way.

Depends on which pressings you're talking about! There are some KG cuts and some non-KGs.
 
KG preferred, but not required.
If you cross reference the UPCs with discogs, you can likely tell which are the KG cuts. The annoying thing is some of the KG Rhinos are AAA while others are digital. Some of the Van Morrisons come to mind. They still sound awesome.

I believe that the His Band if it's the blue/turquoise one is AAA.
that one is AAA/RTI

The KG Rocktober is RTI/AAA and that Abraxas I posted yesterday is also AAA I believe.

As others pointed out when I was confused, the '77 is likely an Optimal press from the KPG RTI plates from the previous (or the US) reissue. I have no complaints though, sounds great.

Edit: I think someone said it was a newer reissue but discogs just lists it as the EU '09 reissue. I don't think mine had a hype sticker though, unlike both '09 reissues. Same plates though, so I'm happy!

I have the Dylan and the Band Before The Flood - sounds great and it is a fiery performance (some might say with the assistance of a certain controlled substance). If you're a fan of either artist, it is pretty damn essential.

Same here. Mine had no hype sticker but is KG x RTI and sounds great.

Does yours have the Optimal plate marking as well as the RTI, like mine? When did you order it? Can't remember who else noticed that and let me know.
