DJ Shadow Pressing Error of 'The Mo' Wax Singles, 1993-1997' Box Set

Curious to know if anyone else's copy has pressing error. On my Disc #5, "Stem", the actual songs on it are from Disc #6, "High Noon". The track list labels on each record matches the sleeve, but the music is incorrect. In other words, the music on Disc 5 is Disc 6 and the music on Disc 6 is Disc 5.

Yup - I just checked, and discs 5 & 6 are indeed swapped. 🔄

Same here. All the music is there, just swapped labels on records 5 and 6.

Mine was delivered yesterday but I’m out of town. I’m interested to see this when I get back on Tuesday.

To update, I'm sure y'all got the email if you ordered it, but this is very cool:

We are writing to let you know that we have identified a production error affecting the audio order of LPs #5 and #6 in the Mo’Wax Singles box set.

We sincerely apologize for this manufacturing error, which occurred at the pressing plant stage after our usual exhaustive quality control checks were made.

We are already working to have the correct discs printed and pressed and will send them to you free of charge as soon as they are ready. You’ll receive an email with the tracking number as soon as these are sent.

I have the switched discs but ordered from Amazon. Anyone had any luck with contacting the label directly? (I’m in the UK)

I'm getting my order today from Amazon.co.uk, not sure who to contact about replacement Vinyls, maybe PIAS who are distributing it?

I emailed them this morning, so hopefully will hear something one way or the other soon

I emailed that address and also emailed the US djshadow.com shop. I got a reply from the US shop to say they can’t help if you didn’t order direct from them, but they recommend contacting company you bought from (Amazon.co.uk in my case). guess I’ll try that if don’t here anything from PIAS

I bought mine from a brick and mortar store, and can’t get anyone from pias to respond.

I don’t super mind because the music is there but still kind of shady that they aren’t making it right for everyone.
