It is most likely that both reverse records were made from the original lacquer plates used to create the stampers. Check out this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbTPKCtdhSA <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbTPKCtdhSA&feature=related> &feature=related At 10 mins long it is worth a watch all the way through but the essential part is between 6.30 - 7.00 mins. Lacquers are usually discarded but they might be able to produce a few reverse copies before being ruined. Before I sold my copy I was able to visually confirm that it was a perfect reverse of the original ETERNA1 record (or at least one side of it) Clearly the record listed on Discogs is the "other side" also taken from the lacquer. My guess is that (much like the wonderful coloured vinyls) they were produced by someone at the plant with a good eye for rare records and what would be so deliciously unique that he / she could shift it easily. A great collector's item, with or without Bill and Jimmy's knowledge / permission.

Subject: Re: [KLF] Madrugada Eterna Not sure how this reverse press came about, probably a mispress. Interestingly this is one sided and is the A side. Tim Richards [pvc] sold one a few years back on ebay, also a reverse mispress, but he stated that that only played the full club mix. So that may have been the B plate. As Eterna 1 is meant to be 3 tracker that would make some kind of sense. Here's the original discussion from the list... http://mailman.xmission.com/lurker/message/20040917.101353.a8da1f7f.en.html Maybe Tim could shed some more light on these mysterious slabs of vinyl?

Pressing plants would not do such a small run (3-20), but usually at least 100 is the minimum. Of course, first doing 5-6 test pressing and then discarding the actual pressing is possible. But, what the guy says at discogs about ME test pressings having different cat number is bullshit (at least what I have understood). Test pressing is testing the final plates and vinyl quality, so test pressings and final run should always have same cat number. There are some cases where cat number or parts of it have been scratched off, as you can see in quite many KLF records but that's usually because of misspelling or mistake. But not like ETERNA1 -> KLF011T. But I also found some old discussions supporting 011 cat: http://bit.ly/QKkrMW (http://mailman.xmission.com/lurker/message/20030702.100651.01460354.ca.html ) Can anyone confirm this? There are also other curious thing at discogs: http://www.discogs.com/KLF-Madrugada-Eterna-Club-Mix/release/3669614 Backwards? Matrix / Runout: 1A 1 ANRETE? Is it like mirrored pressing plate? anttil. On 14.9.2012 0:51, Len Goody wrote:

http://www.discogs.com/KLF-Madrugada-Eterna-Club-Mix/master/63574 ZWOL2 <http://www.discogs.com/user/ZWOL2> Jul 30, 2011 (edited about 1 year ago) referencing Madrugada Eterna, 12", KLF 011 T <http://www.discogs.com/KLF-Madrugada-Eterna/release/106611> ETERNITY 23 is the bootleg issue, a 1-sided 12" white label. The thing about so called 3 or 6 KLF pressings is complete nonsense. I used to work for the Adrenalin & Damont pressing plants where most of the KLF's vinyls were pressed and can tell you that Adrenalin or any other plant at that time would never press such a small amount of discs. ETERNA 1 was the test pressing, and KLF 011T was the record due for release. Adrenalin & Damont would only press a 500 run as a minimum. The KLF may have only released 6 of them, but it doesn't mean that only 6 were made. This I hope explains why they do surface from time to time, as a lot of unreleased vinyls were in boxes and put into skips.
