DomProvenzano Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 I recently picked up a vinyl of Led Zeppelin III from a small temporary vinyl stand in a mall. The sleeve is in pretty decent condition and, LZIII being my favorite LZ album, I just had to have it. However, when I took the record out, I found something strange. The A-side says "Led Zeppelin III" and lists it's tracks. However, the B-side says "Led Zeppelin" and lists the tracks to "Led Zeppelin's" B-side. When I play the vinyl, it is "Led Zeppelin" on both sides! So essentially I bought the "Led Zeppelin" vinyl with mis-matched stickers within a "Led Zeppelin III" case. I attached photos of the record. Has anyone seen anything like this? What exactly did I buy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pb! Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 I have seen this sort of thing on ebay. It would get a small premium, probably selling for around $50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheStairwayRemainsTheSame Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 I don't get how it's even possible to make that error in the recording process, the LZ I cover is of a later reissue of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cofa Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 It wasn't unusual for strange things like this to happen in the record production industry back in the day. I remember buying an album years ago that had the same tracks pressed on both the A and B side. And no! it wasn't a Status Quo album and I had just thought I had heard the same tracks on both sides! I took it back to the shop and swapped it. I probably should have kept it, It might have been worth a few quid now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Shep Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 I had a copy of Candy Store Rock 7" that had an extra label on one side so i took it off carefully and stuck it on a school book, can't remember which side it was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boogie woogie Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 I also bought a record back in the day that had the intended artist on side A. and a completely different band on side B. I also swapped the record. I wish I would've kept it just for novelty sake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirchzep27 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 I had a double label also, physical graffiti second record. It was bubbled up and I peeled it off and other label was adhered to vinyl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
