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&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.

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...
Maybe Tim
could shed some more light on these mysterious slabs of vinyl?

I think this was just something that Adam found from discogs, not an
ongoing thread.
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:

Can anyone confirm this?
There are also other curious thing at discogs:

Backwards? Matrix / Runout: 1A 1 ANRETE? Is it like mirrored pressing plate?
