The solid black (mono) label and the solid green (stereo) label were concurrent with the "bullseye" labels. The former were used right up through 1960, while the "bullseye" labels were used in 1958-59. You'll notice that the Goldmine guide doesn't even mention the "bullseye" label. The stereo versions of the records, by the way, are MORE rare. Many more people had mono cartridges than stereo ones, therefore more mono records were pressed. Whether the stereo or mono are currently more desirable is another story.In any event, the both the black and bullseye copies are first pressings and whether it has a deep groove or not has more to do with the particulars of the pressing plant than anything else.
