Has this ever happened to anyone? (Vinyl related)

I have an LP that has the same label (side 2) printed on both sides of the album, but this is a first one for me...

I recently ordered a copy of Enchantment's Once Upon A Dream from a GEMM.com seller. I received my order in the mail today and proceded to play it. I was surprised when I was greeted by the first song on side two, when I put the needle to the wax on side one. I thought that maybe the labels had been placed incorrectly and flipped the lp over to see if side two was, in fact, side one. Well, to my amazement, it wasn't. So now I'm stuck with an lp that has the same side printed on both sides of the wax...
AND to make matters worse, side one has some KILLER tracks on it mad mad
It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.

Most likely there is. I recently read a story about a woman who worked in the college marketing branch of Columbia records back in the 60's. She used to get albums from folks like Bob Dylan and others who were big on the college market, and ship them white label copies of the records before they were officially released so the college radio stations could play them and build interest.

Anyway, she gets a stack of white label copies of a new Bob Dylan record and goes to work putting them in envelopes and sending them out to the colleges. She gets largely done with her work and decides to put on a copy of the album to listen to and listens to the first side. She flips the lp, drops the needle, and the sounds of some other artist come out of the speakers. She flips out and checks the label and sure enough, there's someone else's 2nd side on the flip side of the Dylan record. Turns out the work order number got messed up and they wound up cutting a bunch of records like this.
