Vinyl pressing mistakes


Ever seen an LP with the the wrong label? I have an old LP that has a different artist/album side pressed on the b side. I listened to the a side of 'Blue Man' by Steve Khan.... flipped it over and Tim Wiesebeg/Dan Fogalberg (sp?)'Power of Gold' or some such nonsence starts playing... surprise! How common are these mistakes? Just curoius.

The weirdest one that i've ever run across was when i was a kid. My Dad came home with the latest Rolling Stones LP. After cleaning the record with his Discwasher, he cued up the arm and let her rip. Upon sitting down and relaxing, we all heard what was "The Story of Yertle the Turtle" by Dr Seuss coming out of the speakers. Needless to say, this was not exactly what he or anyone else expected. The disc was labeled as the Stones, but was obviously not the right pressing. Then again, this might have been better than the what the Stones would end up releasing further down the road. Back to the store it went and i'll bet that the guys at the local record store got a hoot out of it too : ) Sean

Albert: Are you joshin' me or is that "Stoned screw up" really worth that much cash ? Was this a known problem on that album ? If it is true, my Dad will fall over when i tell him : ) Sean
