That mistake has been carried over to the lyrics now published on the OS. However, they have changed ''I am a statue of liberty'' to "I am the statue of liberty''!Hillbilly wrote:Another one. From the printed lyrics to "Ego music":

Re: The Boys need a better proofreader!
It is my pet peeve, the "apostrophe s" instead of the plural "s" or the possessive "s". Yet you read this in all places, from the most amateurish blogs to professional articles everywhere.

Re: The Boys need a better proofreader!
OS "When you can buy the 7 - single" - it seems that should read "Where" as it links to a list of stores.
EDIT: They have corrected this - is someone from PSB following this thread, or did they just spot the mistake!?

Another correction! The OS has corrected "re-re- recorded" to "re-recorded" in the news section concerning the new Florescent Record Store Day vinyl. This thread has not been needed so much recently!

It seems even the Electric Vinyl Factory 5xLP box set contains a typo: viewtopic.php?p=516164#p516164 (sorry if that's already been mentioned).

Ever so slightly off-topic, but does anyone know why the use of the unnecessary full stop on Behavior?
The odds are good but the goods are odd

I think that is mentioned in the further listening booklet. Neil now regrets it, he thinks (or by 2001) it is overdesigned.

But then I have a thing about typography. What a massive nerd I am.

The OS has "Portmeiron" instead of "Portmeirion".
I quite fancy attending this festival!
