Junkread j-recordcollectors discussion: "Do you own any misprints?"

p/Buck_Money: I love collecting CD misprints. I've got a CD of Norah Jones' Come Away with Me that plays a Limp Bizkit album, a CD of The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill that plays Cocteau Twins' Heaven or Las Vegas and a copy of Back in Black that plays ABBA Gold.

p/Lemon1: It must have sucked to be a girl who bought a copy of Come Away with Me at Starbucks only to hear "IT'S JUST ONE OF THOSE DAYS WHERE YOU DON'T WANNA WAKE UP!" when she popped it in her CD player.

p/Buck_Money: Well the Jones/Bizkit misprint came from BMG Music Service, so I'm presuming somebody at the pressing plant BMG used for Music Service screwed up.

p/Arrowheadzzzzzz: My sister has a copy of *NSYNC's No Strings Attached that plays Switched-On Bach. I myself own a vinyl copy of Arcade Fire's The Suburbs that plays some J-pop record on Side B.

p/junkcollectorno1: I have a vinyl copy of R.E.M.'s Green that plays Side B of 2 Live Crew's As Nasty As They Wanna Be on what is supposed to be the "metal side". I'm guessing it was done at a WEA plant since 2 Live Crew were distributed by Atlantic and R.E.M. were signed to Warner Bros, and they started running production of an issue of Green right after pressing some copies of As Nasty As They Wanna Be but forgot to switch out the B-side pressing plate.

p/Wowzer: It seemed to happen a lot with record club releases. Both my examples came from BMG Music Service. One is a copy of Norah Jones' Come Away with Me that plays Limp Bizkit's Significant Other, and another is a copy of Carole King's Tapestry that plays a Playhouse Disney album.

p/DoggoOfTheSeas:
I have a CD of Yes' 90125 that plays N.W.A. instead of 90125.
I have 2 vinyl copies of Yes' Fragile that play classical music.

p/XYZ123: I own a misprinted copy of WWE Anthology, in which disc three is correctly labeled as the "NOW!" disc (as in featuring then-recent WWE wrestler entrance themes) but plays a 60s bubblegum/sunshine pop compilation instead.
