Just thought I'd share this with anyone who cares- Over the past 12 years I've set out to obtain one copy of every CED title in existence (NTSC at least), and I now have practically every one except for "Story Of O", a few slight MGM cover variations, and some that were never for sale to consumers. To do this I've often had to buy entire lots of discs just to get a couple that I needed. This has left me with a lot of duplicate discs, which I've now been going through to check the condition of each one, keep whichever is in the best condition and sell the other. (I'll have a list up soon, if there's any title you're looking for email me and I'll see if I have it, I'll even check the playback condition if that's important to you.)

Anyways, this led me to check the movie "Hombre" from 20th Century Fox Video, manufactured at the CBS Records plant in Georgia. One copy didn't have the barcode stamped in the middle of either side, and the number stamped on it didn't match the cover. Scratched into the center of one side was "B2-015-2-291-1" with "TEST" right under it. Playing the disc turned out to have Side 4 of "Exodus" (another Fox title) on both sides of the disc. It appeared identical to my regular copy of "Exodus", down to the FBI warning at the end, but first time I've seen a disc like this. Obviously I'm keeping this one Smile I'm wondering how this one slipped out, anyone ever found anything else like this?
