So a couple of days ago, I was in town for my commencement, and I thought that whilst I had time on my hands before the ceremony I might go look around the nearby record stores. So I went in, and found a copy of Meddle. Awesome. I bought it there, as well as a copy of The Final Cut, thinking to myself I only have one more Floyd 2016 reissue to go.
Wrong.
Well, right-ish. I opened the record later that day, and what do I find? The labels on the vinyl itself say 'Atom Heart Mother'. At first I'm thinking, 'lol, they mucked up the label.' Then I looked at the record, and nope, it's Atom Heart Mother. Side A was one track and Side B was four.
So that's awkward. Anyone else had the wrong record in the sleeve when picking up the reissues? This is my first grievance with them - up until know they've been so good...

I personally haven't, but I would take it back and try to get it replaced. Even though it isn't the stores fault.

As David said on The Division Bell 'Take it back', best of luck ...

Re: Well, This is Awkward...
I've decided to keep hold of it and put it in a frame. I've given the record a spin and I agree with everyone else. My current record player is utter crap, so I've avoided playing the reissues on it because I don't want them getting ruined. However given this one will be framed, I decided to give it a go. Wow. It sounds really good, little to no crackle.
