    Yes....my labels are reversed as well. The pressing sounds absolutely stellar though!

      Does anyone else have the labels reversed? The label on one side says "The Beach" but it's the song "Blue Monday" that is playing. Same thing on the other side, label says "Blue Monday" but the song "The Beach" is on it.
