physical graffti Physical Graffiti mis-pressing

[DarenAtkinson82]

Hi guys, i was just wondering if anybody on here knows anything about a German pressing of PG with the wrong side pressed? It has the known misprinted labels "Hause of the holy" and "Boggie with stu" but also has "Dazed and confused" (song remains the same version) on side B? The spine code is as follows...

SSK 89400-O (SS 2-200) LED ZEPPELIN PHYSICAL GRAFFITI - SWAN SONG STEREO France: WE 322

ultimately i'm looking for any information possible including a rough price as i cant seem to find anything online within regards to this.

thanks in advance

Many variations of misprinted and mispressed album are known to exist. Occasionally, they can generate some excitement among vinyl collectors.

Here's another example:

Thanks for the reply Steve, its sounds like there were a few issues with the pressing plant in Germany around that time. There is another thread on here from a lady with the same mispressing as the copy i am currently looking into (dazed & confused on side b) but that is the only other example i can find?!

I have the same miss-press on my copy of PG side 2 is dazed and confused from the song remains the same.

There is a 90's era pressing of 'Houses' that plays Green Day on one side (https://www.discogs.com/release/7184799-Green-Day-Led-Zeppelin-Dookie-Houses-Of-The-Holy); apparently someone paid $1000 for it but that is definitely an outlier - the expected value for an error like this is maybe around $200.

I have picked up a couple over the years - another 'Houses' that plays Tonto's Expanding Headband on one side:

And a Trini Lopez record that plays Led Zeppelin II on one side - https://www.discogs.com/release/5713503-Trini-Lopez-Led-Zeppelin-Greatest-Hits
