Destination Lp Pressing error?

[Allan]

I just brought the "Destination - From beginning to end" lp still sealed with a small hole cut in the cover. When I played it I realized that the b side is pressed on both sides of the lp. (the label still show an a and b side)
Is this a commonly known mistake, does this make the lp worthless or valueble.
For me it's just a hasle because I still have to buy the correct one.

Worthless, I'd say. Defective LPs aren't in very high demand...

What I meant was has anybody else found the same error.
I few months ago I remember someone mentioned a Cerrone single that was mislabeled.

One thing that I've discovered is that occasionally these NOS (new old stock) records were left unsold for a reason. I was thrilled to find a vendor with sealed copies of the Ritchie Family's "Life Is Music" 12", as it has a unique version of "Lady Luck" on the flip... only when I got it, it had the album version of "Long Distance Romance" instead, despite what the label stated. I later came across a used copy with the correct track; from the details in the runout groove I could see that they realized their mistake and recut the disc.

I take it returning the record is not an option?

it could be valuable to the right person. "remember that upside down airplane stamp".

"I take it returning the record is not an option?"

I did manage to get a refund and keep the album.


"it could be valuable to the right person."

That's what I thought, but it's not of any use to me, I still need to get a good copy.
