Not that I recall. It did favor one of the extra sides over the other, to the point that I played it several times before I realized that there were three.
Hee. You have an absolute collector's item, then. Most of the ones they printed ended up skipping because the tracks were stamped too close together. It didn't so much repeat from one spot, but rather skipped over to the other track because the needle went to the path of least resistance.
I can get mine to play through both tracks on that side if I weigh down the needle with a couple of pennies. Dear lord, I am SO OLD.
BWAH! If you're somewhere and a CD skips, and you tell whoever's there to put a penny on the needle, they just stare. Naturally I do so whenever possible.
There was a downturn in the quality of vinyl pressing (and the quality of the vinyl itself) in the early 80s that basically made me stop buying records altogether. I'd return an album and be told that I should adjust the pressure on my turntable arm. "Okay, so I should increase the wear to all these hundreds of other albums that I own that play just fine because the two copies I've tried of this new album have a defect in the exact same spot? Uh, no."
