Beck's Odelay Reissue Contains Wrong Lyrics

Where it's at! I got blue-blood babies and a dictaphone!
Beck's Odelay Reissue Contains Wrong Lyrics

It always seems like those tricked-out "Deluxe Edition" reissues of favorite albums are so meticulously crafted, from the art to the bonus tracks to the people interviewed in the liner notes. But never say "always."

It turns out the "Deluxe Edition" reissue of Beck's sampledelic Odelay that shipped this week came with a lyric booklet full of mistakes. According to a press release, "The first pressing of the recent Odelay: Deluxe Edition was found to have gone out with un-proofed lyrics that were taken from a lyrics website as placeholders 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 Edition will also include the corrected lyrics."
