Label: Moustache Ride

From the back cover:

Originally released as a split 7" with Light the Fuse and Run on Level Plane/Electric Human Project. According to Electric Human Project: "the pressing plant fucked up a bunch of these and pressed Hot Cross on both sides. The majority of those were sent back to the plant, but some were sent out by Ebullition packaged along with the correct version."

and according to Hot Cross: "Due to mastering snafus, some were released with Hot Cross on both sides, with side B being the shitty mastering job that we rejected. Our then distributor had already assembled about 100 or so, so they just stuffed the correct version of the 7" in with the dooty one and a few confused chaps thought this was a double 7". Some people think that these versions are neat and collectable, but we chalk them up as a fuck up."

What this is here is that "fuck up" record with Hot Cross on both sides. Because roughly 100 of these saw the light of day through Ebullition as a double 7" with the original packaging and the majority of the rest got returned to the pressing plant, it is unclear how many of these standalone "fuck up" 7"s exist. This is coming from a found box of 90 and it is believed a total of 300 copies were pressed on orange vinyl.
