Fwd: Backwards Stamping on Presence



<Or maybe it only happened to a few units that got out, like yours -
now destined to become prized collector's items, natch, and fetch high
prices on eBay.>

i was just thinking of this while i was reading. could those
misprinted records be (much much) more valuable like misprinted
banknotes and stamps (at least in time)? i hope so. take good care of
them anyway steve.

steve, may i also have your criticism about ITTOD's sound? i'm asking
if it's bass/treble weak like the original? thanks.

Sounds like a hiccup in the printing process! Like there was an emboss
instruction on the line, but the side with the back cover printing got
embossed instead of the front (which would explain why it's reverse on the
back cover - the stock is folded over to create the jacket). Nobody noticed
and they went out anyway... Or maybe it only happened to a few units that
got out, like yours - now destined to become prized collector's items,
natch, and fetch high prices on eBay.

Ironic - the kind of glitch that would have held up release of one of the
original Zeppelin albums by 6 months, not even noticed in the modern-day,
crank-it-out, fu@k-the-quality-control-department-we-don't-need-one world of
graphics production. :-)
