Hi,

I thought this topic might be of interest as I have just tried an NTSC LD of Bruce Lee's "Return of the Dragon" and I was very suprised to find that the film started witout any sort of introduction.

Thinking I might have put the disc into my player the wrong way up - so it played on Side 2 - I was even more suprised to find that the LD had actually been manufactured with both Side 1 and 2 Labels REVERSED - so despite my correctly placing it with "Side 1" upermost - it was actually playing "Side 2"

I found no mention of this problem in an Internet search - and I suspect that such a manufacturing error would probably have involve a Batch of many discs - So can it be that I have the only one ?

Do not own this title, but have other titles with same "reversed label" issue.

Biggest manufacturing issue I came across so far, is opening a sealed and absolute mint copy of Queen Live in Japan with a crack split on only one side (from the middle outward), label is perfect on that side, other side has no problem.... This results the disc is unplayable on one side...

i used to own that disc, my labels were fine, i think i had predator with switched labels, but it had rot and we returned it back when new.
worst is when discovision put 2 of the same side on the disc :evil:

I own a copy of The Criterion Collection CAV release of The Graduate; for some reason the first side is missing the audio commentary! I have no idea how that happened - the other sides all play the commentary track fine.

It would be cool to get a ld with same side on both.
