Looking for info on a unique printing error (misprint) on this 1985 Spanish pressing of The Carpenters - "The Singles 1969-1973" (First Lacquer)
>Hello everyone! I’m sharing this 1985 Spanish reissue (A&M Records, Ref: 393 601-1) from my collection because it has a very unusual manufacturing defect. This copy has the runout matrix 850 393601 // 1 * A/B * 1, confirming it comes from the first lacquer.
The interesting part is on the back cover. The black ink layer completely shifted during production at the Coracolor plant, creating a strange 3D shadow effect. I have checked the official database on Discogs, and there is absolutely no record or documentation of this specific printing error on this release. It seems to be completely undocumented online.
Since this community is filled with experts on rare vinyl, I wanted to ask if anyone has ever encountered a similar misprint on this pressing, or if you have any insights on how rare this anomaly might be. Thank you so much for your time and help!
