Vinyl Mispressing
In an email released by Sacred Bones, it was revealed that the initial vinyl release accidentally used an early version of the song, pressed from an early lacquer cut. Reznor and Ross had subsequently revised the song into its final version (as heard on the digital release), and a new, corrected pressing of the vinyl with this version was released in February 2019. The pressings are differentiated by their catalog numbers, with the original being SBR-190 and the repress being SBR-190-RE.
The full message reads as follows [1]:
WE SCREWED UP.
The audio contained on the 12” pressing of Halloween released on Sacred Bones is a previous recording of the Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross version of the song, which differs from what was released digitally last year. A lacquer of the ‘previous version’ was cut and then scrapped, because Trent and Atticus decided that they could improve upon the recording. They went on to create the ‘definitive’ track that is available everywhere digitally.
A MISTAKE WAS MADE when pressing the currently available 12”, and the ‘previous’ version was erroneously included.
