Vinyl pressing mistakes

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

Hey Sean, you should get out of your “shell” that Yertle the Turtle" rocks.

The cuts as I remember are:

“White Rabbit“ (with apologies to Jefferson Airplane).
“Happy Together“ (originally by the Turtles).
“I may be slow but I’m ahead of you”
“They named a sweater (or a neck) after me”
“My car wax is famous”

You should have kept that album. The version without the cover peeled off is now worth about $1100.00.

You can easily tell them apart, the later version has a Turtle sitting inside a truck with a bunch of other Turtles standing around.

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

Maybe I was confusing it with the Beatles butcher block album.

I just picked up a two-box UK pressing of Revolver that is stereo on side 1 and mono on side 2. The jacket and labels say stereo but the matrix numbers are YEX for the first side and XEX for the second. I had to check after wondering why there wasn't any weird panning on the first few songs. The stereo side sounds good but the mono is really dynamic.
