DMP Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 (edited) Because that's what's in my copy of "Domination" that just arrived from BMG. Not too familiar with the genre, but I imagine this is what Norman Brown (or Rony Jordan) sounds like.

felser Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 I got the Milt Jackson Blue Note CD one time and the actual music was some hard-core rap group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 (edited) When I put my first copy of The Three Sounds Live At The Lighthouse in the player, there was some pop stuff coming out of the speakers ... the other copy the shop had was okay Edited December 8, 2005 by mikeweil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosco Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 A few weeks ago, I bought a copy of A Jazz Message by Art Blakey. Got home, opened it up and the CD inside was... ... some Earl Klugh album And when I took it back the shop couldn't find the Blakey CD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 One of my discs of the Plugged Nickel box set has the appropriate Miles matrial on it. But the silkscreening was applied OVER the silkscreening of a Mariah Carey cd! Miles might have gotten a chuckle out of that. . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosco Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 A few years ago at the HMV I worked at we had a product recall. HMV have their own label which reissues old EMI classical recordings. The CD in question was supposed to be (something like) Vivaldi's Four Seasons, but which actually played... a Derek and Clive album Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he got the "Message". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spontooneous Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 A bunch of copies of Andrew Hill's "But Not Farewell" on Blue Note were actually some hair-metal album. This is turning into the "EMI's Crappy Quality Control" thread, isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster_Ties Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 (edited) Bought a sealed copy of PASSING SHIPS from somebody on eBay about 6-months ago, and it had Sam Rivers' CONTOURS in it. Those two Conns weren't even from the same series - what gives?? Ironically, a buddy of mine bought COUNTOURS (also a sealed copy, from a distributer)- and it had the right disc in it (it played CONTOURS), but it didn't have ANY printing on the disc itself, none at all. Wasn't a CDR, but a real silver-disc, but with no printing on it. Gave him my extra CONTOURS (out of the PASSING SHIPS packaging), to go with his COUNTOURS packaging, and he gave me the blank CONTOURS disc. Then I bought another copy of PASSING SHIPS, burned it, and gave him the burn (along with the extra PASSING SHIPS packaging I had), and all was well -- for the most part. Yeah, another EMI QC problem. Edited December 10, 2005 by Rooster_Ties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmorin Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 I swear on my jazz collection: One of the discs in a used copy of Complete Bitches Brew was a Simon and Garfunkel CD--it even had the CD label of the appropriate BB disc. Talk about a surprise. No wonder is was on sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
md655321 Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 A friend of mine once had a copy of Led Zeppelin's Coda which had what I can only describe as German choral music on it. Definitely a confusing moment for any 15 year old. I wonder if anyone out there has a mix up that they havent noticed. Im sure to many newbies if the instrumentation is similar they might not notice.

GA Russell Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 When I was in college I bought a copy of Gerry Mulligan's Historically Speaking, which was a mid-60s re-titling of his early 50s album Mulligan Plays Mulligan. Inside was a copy of Soultrane. Soultrane had the proper labels, etc.; it was just in the wrong package. I didn't bother to complain. I never really came to like Soultrane, but the store didn't have another copy of Historically Speaking so the best I could hope for was getting my money back, which wasn't what I wanted.
