Kid A (misprint)

~ Release by Radiohead (see all versions of this release, 29 available)

Annotation

The first shipping to the Netherlands had misprints. Due to a manufacturing error, the first 42 seconds of the CD contain cut-up sounds of an unknown live concert ending. As a result, all songs start 42 seconds later than programmed. People who purchased the misprint could trade it for a good copy at the record store they bought it at. Not everyone did that.
