Last night, I came home from my local used record store with a bunch of new albums I had ordered, one of them being Prong’s “Cleansing.” Upon tearing the plastic off it, I noticed that the white sticker that runs lengthwise on the top edge of the jewel case (no idea what they’re actually called) identifies the artist as not Prong, but rather “Prong Prong.”

While this made me and my girlfriend laugh our asses off, it also made me realize that there’s a niche market for factory fuck-ups like this… and I probably screwed myself out of a negligible profit.
What do you guys think? Any similar stories, as well?
Wasn’t there two versions of Linger Fickin Good, one that was much rarer than the other? Cleansing is a classic, Rude Awakening is good to but much different than the thrash Prong they were known for at the time.
Only to a major, bean-counting hardcore fanboy completist. Recently, the new ohGr album had the top CD strip read “Devils On My Details” instead of “Devils In My Details”. I think this happens often.
Manufacturing mistakes are only of interest to collectors of oddities, unless it’s widespread and of particular interest for some reason. Some are actually considered LESS valuable (I doubt you could get much for one of those copies of The Process with gospel music on it, for example).

I once bought a copy of Swans White Light From the Mouth of Infinity used, and the music on it was Billy Joel or something. The cd was printed like normal, but looking around the ring of the disc I remember reading what the actual music was imbedded on it. At least they let me exchange it.
