Good old Santa was kind enough to bring me the AITU vinyl this Christmas. Imagine the trauma as I slipped the record from it's sleeve for the first time tonight only to discover I was unable to work out which side to start listening to first, because both sides of the record had an identical A side label.
Panic rising and my stomach churning, I was forced to guess which was the real side A..... Then the needle lowered and the beautiful opening strains of WIWAB filled the room. Phew I had guessed correctly and all was well with the world once more. wiggle
Has anyone else suffered this debilitating trauma?

So what is this - 2x A labels or 2 A sides?

It's just the A side label that is duplicated on both sides. All 10 tracks are present as normal. I guess the label sticking process is automated, so I wonder how many were produced this way before the mistake was spotted?

On a similar note I've got an EP somewhere with the labels the wrong way round. The Mr Kingdom one I believe.

I just opened my Eldorado clear vinyl on Epic and the both labels are really faded, you can hardly make out the track listings. The other 2 albums of the group of 3 have good quality labels.

Mine too. It's like everyone ignored the warning light on the label printing machine that said 'black ink is low'!
It's just as well we know the track listing inside out!
