It all came to light when the fan, who posted a video of the occasion that went viral on Tiktok, was about to listen to the record, which is adorned with a picture of pop star Swift, for the first time. It then turned out that the sound heard instead came from Cabaret Voltaire’s “Soul Vine (70 Billion People)” and Thunderhead’s “True Romance”.
The record company and distributor Above Board, which in March released the collection containing the songs, expressed surprise at the incident.
— I don’t know what the hell happened, but Taylor Swift’s records seem to have been mis-pressed with our album, says Above Board founder Dan Hill to Resident Advisor.
It was last week that Swift released the newly recorded version of the album of the same name from 2010, among other things in the form of an LP.
On Wednesday, Universal Music Group confirmed that an “extremely limited” number of vinyl copies had been mispressed and urged fans to contact their retailers for replacements. Variety.
