Over the weekend, independent vinyl retailers were packed to the gills with customers looking for some of those sweet, sweet Record Store Day exclusives. Among those releases was a vinyl edition of U2's Songs of Innocence, which we declared the second worst RSD release of 2015. Despite our claim, many fans bought the record anyway — but some copies were stuffed with the wrong 12-inch release.
As FACT reports, a handful of fans picked up a copy of the Songs of Innocence release to find that the sleeves had instead been packaged with Tool's 1992 Opiate EP.
While it's unclear just how many U-Tool releases were distributed, it'll be interesting to see if they become a collector's item of their own. The actual Song of Innocence Record Store Day release is currently listed between $85 and $330 CDN on Discogs.

@RSDUK seems there's a couple of #U2 #RSD15 misprints about - some have a Tool EP inside! pic.twitter.com/wKFFFuR9W6
