David Live - Mistery of the same double-sided label.

Posted by: Tony2011 on 27 October 2013

I got hold of a copy of Bowie's David Live 1974 double album. Problem is side B has the same label as side A. APL2-0771, A2-E/B1-E. I have done some search but have not found anything at all about it. Does anyone have any clues?

Looks a bit like a cross between Frankenstein's monster and Joan Collins in that photo!

Cheers for that , George.

More like Dietrich really but for 0.75p who can complain.

I think he looks wonderful.

If only artists still looked as stylish and as ineffably... right.

Hi Tony. I have a number of albums that have the same label on both sides. Is it just the label,or are the tracks on both sides the same? If it's just a duplicate of the label then it just becomes a curio to DB collectors however, if your copy has duplicate sides of music that would make it more interesting and valuable not sure if this helps! Anyway a good score for 75p. Also agree with K DB looks great on the cover

Graham, it's just the label and the only reason I bought the record. As for fashion style I'm beginning to worry about you and Kev.

Tony,

Funny coincidence that no sooner had you posted this topic than I should have a related experience in the record shop. No, I did not run into a transvestite (at least not to my knowledge), but I did run across a mislabeled pressing. It's the first one I've seen to my knowledge (mislabeled pressing).

George Harrison's original "All Things Must Pass" 3-LP box set contained two "Side 3" red apple labels. One was the true side 3, the other should have been labeled "Side 1".

Goes to show that even in the Apple plant mistakes are possible.
