BORN TO RUN US pressing LP variants: a major production error

A short note that follows the series of BORN TO RUN US pressing LP variants. This regular copy is actually not a variant but an erroneous product with the gate-fold interior sleeve being upside down. The catalog number PC 33795 suggests that this one is an early copy but found out to be rather one of the later pressings, as the outer rear sleeve prints the producer name correctly in a single line. The hand-etched matrix codes are AL-33795-1G on Side A and P BL-33795-1A MCR on Side B. I obtained this a couple of years ago on eBay where the US seller did not stress this spectacular error on the item description, so the auction ended with no competitors and cost me only the starting bid of $1.99. As always annoying, however, the international shipping took much more money ($22.74).

Speaking of errors on BORN TO RUN vinyl LP, "John" misspelling on the rear sleeve would come to most of collectors' mind. But this type of production error is seldom seen even though some million copies have been pressed and released for this classic title all over the world. Another one-of-a-kind vinyl item in my possession, on par with the previously shown misprinted inner sleeve of THE RIVER LP from New Zealand.
