ELO Miss Labelled & Quality Control Fails - UK issued Singles

​

From 1978 to 1979 a number of ELO UK issued 7" singles were miss labelled with non matching labels on Side A or Side B with different fonts and catalogue numbers, "S JET XXX" or just "JET XXX"

​

Plus some times Quality Control at the pressing factories would, by accident, allow miss-pressed records to be sent out.

​

Below are details of issues so far found.
