Remember in the days of vinyl when collector’s items were created due to record and cover misprints and alterations? Well, those days are back with the release of Beyonce’s Lemonade on vinyl.
If you are a collector and are one of the “lucky” ones to pick up an early edition of the album, you could have something thats worth will be growing in the future.
The yellow vinyl release was accidentally pressed with side A not containing Beyonce but, rather, the Canadian band Zex and their album Uphill Battle. Side B has Lemonade tracks.
So @Beyonce #lemonade arrived yesterday with 5 punk band #zex tracks on side A. #beyonce #vinyl pic.twitter.com/axR7qpt45N

Columbia Records has released the following statement:
Due to human error at the Celebrate Records plant in Germany, which Sony uses to manufacture vinyl, a small amount of the European run of the Beyoncé Lemonade vinyl included music from Canadian punk band, ZEX, on Side A. Beyoncé and ZEX were not aware of or responsible for the mispress. Fans who purchased the vinyl will be refunded and given a replacement copy. We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused.
