David Bowie's "Bowie At The Beeb" boxed set a few years ago had a similar mistake - the track "Ziggy Stardust" was supposed to be 2 different versions <lp and BBC session> yet  one version was duplicated, ommitting the other. They <EMI> sent out a single one track cd with the missing version to folks who emailed them <probably pretty collectible now!>, then corrected the error on subsequent pressings of the cd.

I think having a song duplicated twice on a major release is a MAJOR f**kup - they'll need to do something about this for sure.

Are we sure this error is on the general release and not just on promo cd-rs or test pressing cds?   That's the first thing I thought of....

Exactly. It may become a collectors item because of this mistake.
