Dave on the rocks Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Has anyone ever had the experience of buying a record, playing it, and it was not the music of the band listed on the album jacket or vinyl itself? I recently purchased a copy of the Peace'd Out 10' from Hot topic online. http://www.hottopic.com/product/peaced-out---self-titled-10-vinyl-ep/362161-000.html When I played the record, the band that was playing was not Peace'd out. It is 3 strange Icelandic-Bjork sounding inde songs. I can't tell what the lyrics are, and the shazam and ask google apps on my phone could not identify any of the songs.The labels on the record and the etching were correct for Peace'd Out. I recorded a video of the pressing "mistake" and put it on You Tube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5v5IjaxGcU As a comparison, the link below is to the actual Peac'd Out music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUhW8VIwZww I was surprised / perplexed about the entire thing, so I emailed the label that put it out, Sound the Siren Records. The owner had no idea why that would be the case, and did not hear of this happening with any other copies, so it is likely a one off mistake (?) from Pirate Press. It's a mystery! I contacted Hot topic about a refund, and they offered one, only if I would return the mistake pressing. My wife and I have enjoyed the mystery of this record and did not want to send it back. It has been fun to hypothesize about what happened when pressing this record and creating a back story for the music. I ended up buying another copy from Hot Topic.This time the record has the music of Peace'd Out on it! My question to the forum is: Has anyone had this experience before? Can anyone help identify what the band playing is on the "mistake" copy? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daegor Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Me too, but actually this is pretty odd. And the mystery music is actually pretty good and I'd like to know who it is, haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Can't watch the videos, but are you playing it at the right speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Can't watch the videos, but are you playing it at the right speed. My first thought too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE_James_Champ Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Can't watch the videos, but are you playing it at the right speed. I love Peace'd Out, and even slowed down, it doesn't sound like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daegor Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 It sounded like it was the right speed, but I thought of that as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave on the rocks Posted December 4, 2015 Author Share Posted December 4, 2015 Can't watch the videos, but are you playing it at the right speed. That was one of the first things I tried. When I change speeds from 33 to 45 rpm. the odd vocals become more chipmunk like, making me think 45 rpm that is the wrong speed. Regardless, it still sounds nothing like Peace'd out.

WAXXX Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 My question to the forum is: Can anyone help identify what the band playing is on the "mistake" copy? i got sidetracked at work today and, confident in my musical sleuthing skills, thought i could identify the band. nope. spent an hour on it before i gave up. i was able to find some similar sounding artists if anyone is interested (kira kira, noah, samaris, owsey, pascal pinon) but couldn't make a direct match.

Thanks for taking a stab at this. You got farther along then I have at this point. Many of those artists have a similar vibe / sound to whatever is on the mispress.

Dave on the rocks Posted December 5, 2015 Author Share Posted December 5, 2015 What is the matrix info from the dead wax? Good Question. There is no matrix info on side A because of the etching. Since I have both the correct pressing and the mispress, I posted both: Correct Pressing: Pirates Press - SIREN007B 102497F2/A Mispress: Pirates Press - SIREN007B 102497F2/A CR20681 A (written by hand) SST (written by hand, but could be SSR) k-(written by hand. This could be a scratch) I will have to do some searching on the mispress record to see if I can turn anything up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouTwo Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 I got a Super Furry Animals "Something 4 the Weekend" 7" from a shop but it was some other band's music. I haven't used Shazam yet to find out what is actually on it but it sounded like some other 90's britpop type band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kouka Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 I'm most impressed there's a band called Peace'd Out. What names did they think weren't good enough? Jettkoral, lampwick, copelandkid and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gutzonborglum Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Huh. It's like a Slow-mo Bjork/Sinead O'Connor amalgamation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
