Why would you spend your money on a vinyl copy of U2’s Songs of Innocence? Regardless of your feelings on what I’m sure is a perfectly fine late-career U2 album, didn’t basically everyone get that record for free last year? The lunkheaded spendthrifts who stood in line to shell out for a “deluxe exclusive” version of Songs on Record Store Day and found another band’s music inside only got what was coming to them.

According to Death and Taxes, this British U2 fan was the first to point out that her copy of U2’s latest had been mixed up with music by another quartet of self-serious guitar guys: Tool, whose 1992 EP Opiate was also reissued over the weekend.

It’s unclear how many mixed-up copies went out, but at least one other London fan tweeted that she had also gotten the Tool record—from the same store as Delahunty. Consider it karmic retribution against U2 for forcing Songs of Innocence into everyone’s iTunes.
