I have other multiple record albums and compilations, and none of them are like this. they are all as you would expect, one record has side one and two the other has three and four. This album is split differently with sides 1 and 4 on one and 2 and 3 on the other.

The way I see it, (which could be completely wrong) is that this could potentially be a mispressing, and that could potentially be very rare, could it not? Or is this simply how this album was done.

anybody know?

Is it vinyl, tape, 8 track or a CD? Because if it is vinyl it may done so you can "stack" the LPs one on top of the other and play them in order like side one then side two and after the completion of of side two get up and flip them over and then listen to side three and side four in order. That is if your phonograph player has that long thingy in the middle and the arm thingy that stabilizes the LP when are stacked and it automatically release another record after the prior one is done. If you have a short nubby thingy in the middle then you can't stack them. Automatic record player playing record - 1840822 | Shutterstock Footage

I don't think it was a miss print, maybe some guy at the record factor brainstormed the day they were press and thought wouldn't it be grand if I could listen to side one then side two instead of listening to side one then side three or four depending how they are stacked.
