[78-L] "have a crap" records

[David Lennick]

This reminds me of a number of mis-pressed LPs I've encountered over the years. 
Most recent was a Beethoven 3rd Concerto on a late 50s Capitol pressing where 
both sides were the second and third movements (I eventually found a corrected 
version). A Canadian United Artists pressing of Stoky conducting "Schelomo" and 
something by Paul Ben-Heim had Shloimy on both sides (one wasn't enough, and I 
loathe that work as it is). A Quintessence LP was supposed to have Gershwin's 
Rhapsody and Concerto in F but had other music entirely, and that one got 
programmed on CHFI's Classics Till Dawn (who's going to bother sampling an LP 
like that? I sure didn't)..and I think it ran 2 or 3 times before anybody called.

When I flipped the LP and sat back, I happened to notice that I was now playing Side One!  I let it go, not knowing the right protocol under those circumstances,  During the 'second side', the phone lights went off light roman candles.  Most laughed, but one gentleman was insensed, and told me to apologize when it finished.  I did so, as I would have anyway.  Beethoven might have smiled...
