![[The Talking Machine Forum - For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings]](/styles/we_universal/theme/images/the_talking_machine_forum.png)
I recently picked up a few 78s at an antique shop. One was a circa 1920 Columbia recording, A-3344, matrix numbers 79485 ("Like We Used to Be") & 79486 ("When The Autumn Leaves Begin to Fall"), 2 songs sung by tenor Fred Hughes. Curiously the label for 79486 is on both sides.
I expect this kind of error may have slipped through the supply chain from time to time, but this is the first one I have personally run across.

This error in labeling shows up a lot. Sometimes the same label is on both sides or the sides are reversed.
I have even found two labels on one side, where you can peel one off and have a clean one underneath and one to stick in a scrapbook.
