I don't know why I have never noticed this before, maybe it's because most labels when the 45 is spun around have to be spun the right way up to read the flip side.

However, on one occasion recently ! I noticed that the reversed label is almost identical on axis to what's on the reverse side.i.e don't have to adjust the viewing axis to read it!

This may be that my collection is virtually "infested" with misaligned labels, so was just wondering if

A. Anybody has noticed this mis or perfect alignment? Or

B. Have I a unique collection of mis aligned labels.............my pension fund relys on your answers. lol

Unlike me you may not of noticed this anominly in your collection......feedback much appreciated

In case your wondering the record in question is Eddie Holloway "smooching on your love" Dealers Choice

Isn't it "Slipping On Your Love" for Dealers Choice and " Somebody Smooching My Love" for H&H

 

Great flip on them both too

Think it's merely chance / luck since I thought the labels are stuck on one at a time. It would be nice if they did match though....

Lots of labels like that on Jamaican released 45's as the guys who worked in Kingston record pressing plants were so meticulous in ensuring no singles left their premises unless absolutely perfect.

Surely this all depends on whether one files the discs on shelves as if the discs are stored in boxes they have to be pulled up, so a quick glance at the flipside would mean the reverse side labels would be easier to read if 180 degrees from the main side!?!

There you go, you now have to split your filing systems to cater for this, Dave (hope you're well by the way!).

Dave your right on the title mate , my mistake as I was looking at another copy of the same song by the same artist, have it also on the "Roaring 20s" label..........which beggars the question which came first as I haven't any info or other releases on Roaring20s.

Is the Roaring a reissue or perhaps one of those Beach scene labels as it certainly looks like that type or indeed a very odd label title for this type of music?

Any info on either would be another piece of the jigsaw in this life encompassing world of soul music record collecting.
