Pink Floyd/Vinyl recording

Question
I have a Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here that has Bob Dylan press on one side and Pink Floyd on the other. The labeling is completely for Wish You Were Here. No reference to Bob Dylan is on the labels, only Bob Dylan. I bought this at Wherehouse records when it first came out. Once I discover that it was pressed with two different artist I never placed it again. What are the chances of this is a one of a kind and does it have any value?

Answer
Hi Sean,
My apologies for the delay.  I was away on vacation but thanks for the question.  I'm sorry... but I no longer appraise/answer questions about the value of items but what you have is rare but not one of a kind... millions of copies were pressed so it was common for a run to get botched up every once in a while... most were destroyed but many did end up on the record store shelf.  A Floyd collector or a collector that specializes in misprints will find more value in it but again I cannot even begin to assess a value because I don't have it in my hands to properly do so.  It might fetch around $45.00.

Hope this helps and please don't forget to rate my answer.

Best,
Doc
