A number of Lana Del Rey fans were surprised to find their copy of 2012's "Born To Die" being replaced with Baltimore shoegaze band Wildhoney's 2015 debut "Sleep Through It".

Deranged Records founder Gordon Dufresne, who released the Wildhoney album, confirmed the goof up as a passing error, reported Billboard.

"All copies of this particular pressing of the LDR record were pressed this way. A good portion will be recalled and likely recycled but lots of copies are now circulating.

"This happened due to a mix up with the stampers at the plant - small mistake with huge implications... This sort of mistake... Is typically caught before it has a chance to get into the ends of customers/fans."
 

Dufresne did not name the pressing plant that made the error as "they have been doing everything in their power to address and fix the issue."

"Born to Die" is the second studio album of Del Rey.
