I have just posted this version of Mozart's Bastien and Bastienne in the Listening Thread





The interesting thing is that there is a label misprint with both labels displaying Part 2


   


I wonder if, and at what part of the production process this error was noticed and if it was, was a conscious decision taken to let it go on the basis of cost.

Any other examples of label errors?

The most conspicuous misprint is actually on the cover.  :laugh:

Precisely. And to compound the confusion, they have it right on the labels.  :)

And Toni Blankenheim is first a bass (baritone) and then a tenor.

A multi-talented guy  ;D

Wow, more wrong with this one that I had at first thought.

Hah! Well spotted too.

Maybe we should start a thread, "Most Misprinted Artworks and Labels".  :D

Released by the DG subsidiary Polydor I am fairly certain a Philips UK pressing. Very sloppy.

There is just a little nagging voice in the back of my mind telling me that just might present a minor problem when you attempt to listen to it Jeffrey  ;D

Thanks Fergus. I've tried playing it on the microwave oven's turntable but without success so far.

Did you try switching on the microwave? Wait, no, don't do that.....  :o

Seriously, though, nice purchase. I would buy it too if I saw it on my continuing searches.

I know of one case where a stylus got snared in the sleeve of a cardigan thereby destroying an expensive cartridge.

I remember when I lived at home with my parents our cat jumped on my turntable whilst a record was playing and went round with it.  :o
