First Pressing Of Beck Reissue Contains Bad Lyrics

Beck fans who ran out and purchased one of the new Odelay reissues might be socially ostracized in the future. That is, if you have been memorizing the lyrics in the liner notes. It turns out that the production people inserted lyrics they found on the web as "placeholders" that were supposed to be swapped out for authorized lyrics before going to print. Only, they never got replaced. If this makes the first pressing of the reissue more valuable, then it won't matter what you think the lyrics are, you'll be richer. According to a statement from Beck's PR folks that stereogum published today:

The first pressing of the recent Odelay Deluxe Reissue was found to have gone out with unproofed lyrics that were taken from a lyrics website as place holders for layout purposes. Beck apologizes for this unfortunate oversight and is making arrangements for the corrected lyrics to be available gratis via Beck.com. Subsequent pressings of the Odelay Deluxe will also include the corrected lyrics.
