Before I pull the trigger on a couple of these, can someone confirm that they’re standard AP pressings, full treatment and all? I know the box set that these are sourced from pressed them in an unconventional manner without the covers, just looking for some reassurance that isn’t the case with these before I drop the dough.

they have tip-on jackets and are cut from the KG plates from 1998.
 
Anyone have any of the AP Monk pressings? I’m wondering if I need to upgrade my 80’s OJC pressings to these, specifically for Brilliant Corners and Misterioso.

i think @keylime_5 got a bunch. i returned my box set without jackets but will look to buy most of them once they are up at a seller who has a discount code.

I'm not gonna get Brilliant Corners because I think the craft one step will be really hard to beat.
 
Looks like Craft is either having a wee one step sale or they lowered their prices. Seeing $99 on everything vs the usual $109. Although their site is also not working very well and bringing up blank pages so I'm not entirely sure what's up...

Yeah that's kinda what I'm waiting for.

Oh also, anyone have either of the US or EU Michael Kiwanuka "Kiwanuka" pressings? Cogs seems to universally hate the EU and kinda like the US.

I have the OG UK and can try to spin it tomorrow and report back. according to discogs I have the Matt Colton cut and I really like his work.

Kiwanuka is a bit frustrating with his pressings. I love all his albums and can’t remember any pressings really blowing me away. Also really weird to me that he never quite made it big in the states. Big little lies theme song was closest he got but he still plays pretty small venues here. He’s actually playing with Brittany Howard near me in a few months and wanna try to go see it but tickets were real pricey when I last looked
