J... Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I bought a used LP... and... it's missing a song. The cover says it has the song but, the physical vinyl doesn't. Is that common?? I'm just starting my collection and don't know all that much about them but... I think it's a bit unusual. It's America and says it comes with the song A Horse With No Name. The label on the LP says BS2576 (S39997) and the sleeve says 2576... The label on the LP doesn't say it comes with that specific song but the sleeve does and the numbers correspond so...? Is there something I'm missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 All albums pressed on vinyl are missing at least one song. It's just how they're made. Theyre currently working on making all LP's 13" to fix this problem. andrewlucas, nancy_raygun, Multiverse and 20 others 23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryantark Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Something must have happened while ripping the MP3s onto the Vinyl-RW.

ethereal Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 the first version of horse with no name was omitted because while the band was on tour prior to the album release, the drummer's grandmother accidentally named the horse they wrote the song about. fearing it would be a false interpretation of the song's true meaning, it was pulled last second. it seems like you may have one of these copies, if so, it's worth a considerable amount of money and you should probably get it professionally appraised.

MyckelJay Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Man, everyone loves to roast the new guy on here . But with all seriousness, it seems that the first pressings didn't include "A Horse With No Name" and that the track was only added in with the later pressings. Before an admin comes in and tells you, I'm just gonna mention that questions like this would usually get asked here. It's just to avoid clutter, and people in that topic will be much more helpful and open to answering any questions you have about a record.

If you're saying a Sir George Martin production is at odds with being "terrible," allow me to present Exhibit A. niblips and somethingvinyl 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I said all the good jokes had been made. America weren't that great, but "A Horse With No Name" is just blah.
