I have severalSalbums that are pressed with Side 1 and Side 3 on one LP and sides 2 & 4 on the second LP so you can cue up the second side and mix with no interruption. This goes for rock records not DJ/Techno albums.

Yours is a very early pressing and depending on the series of letters and numbers after A1 and B3 could be anywhere between the 1st and 7th pressing. Hang on to it.
