No difference in the bundles. Not sure why people want to add separate releases on Discogs for bundles. That are NO different than the regular release. 

The "Bundles" are just items shipped together and a way to save a little money by buying both items at the same time.

not a discogs expert, but i’m pretty sure the bundle listings should at the least be merged with their respective album listings since the items are available separately (and especially since they’re shipped as individual units). like you said, not sure why people are adding them that way, and i’m surprised the anal discogs users that usually jump all over these things haven’t done so yet.

Actually I’m one of those anal users, I think your right, but there are guidelines that say if something is sold as a bundle.. it gets a unique submission. I don’t agree, seems very redundant, but wasn’t up for the fight.. lol

did this change recently? because i know that wasn't the case before. like, if the items came within the same shrinkwrap, then yes they were a bundle (like that fye bundle of the otherwise sold individually singles reissues). but if they were a 'bundle' of things that were also sold separately and not packed in the same shrink (as is the case here), then they were to be listed individually.

Question- are the bundles different at all? I saw them show up on Discogs but as far as I can tell there are 4 versions of Gigaton (2 etchings each for EU and US) and 2 of DoTC (US and EU). The bundles makes it another 4 versions which im cool avoiding if they are identical and just effectively shipped together.

also- how would I order an EU bundle to the US?

This EU Bundle is sold out.

I can't remember what that other EU virgin bundle link was.

So, with the vinyl editions. You have 2 versions of the US and EU. 

US Version

version 1 - CB cut, QRP pressing, Side D - “Is This You?”
version 2 - CB cut, QRP pressing, Side D - “In The Midst Of The 6th”

EU Version
version 1 - CB cut, unknown pressing, Side D - “Is This You?”
version 2 - CB cut, unknown pressing, Side D - “In The Midst Of The 6th

Credits differ on the EU and US pressings. 

Also the credits in the labels and sleeve are also different on the EU and US DotC 7”” singles. They may have also been pressed at different plants.

So I was a little late to this - MedozK, I found discogs so confusing based on bundle references, but found you point next page clear. So I read this as 4 versions for us nerds. An EU and US, but with two separate Side D etchings each.

I have have multiple, mint, not played of: version 1 - CB cut, QRP pressing, Side D - “Is This You?”......all from 10C.

I am looking for the others, unplayed.

Hello, I bought today the Europe 3LP version. I Heard the US version is amazing. Is this EU version the same?
