Tiny Vinyl is a new 4-inch vinyl record format designed to be portable and align with modern streaming music consumption, aiming to serve as a collectible item for fans and artists, with initial launches through Target and support from major labels, while facing manufacturing and playback challenges.
A fan who ordered Taylor Swift's "Speak Now" vinyl received a misprinted copy that played British electronica music instead. The mix-up occurred at a printing plant in France, where the wrong album was pressed onto the purple vinyl and placed in the "Speak Now" jacket. The fan's TikTok video about the incident went viral, sparking interest among collectors. Universal Music Group has acknowledged the issue and advised customers to contact their retailer if they receive a misprinted vinyl. The small British label responsible for the misprint believes there may be more copies in circulation. The incident has brought attention to the British electronica group Cabaret Voltaire, whose song was featured on the misprinted vinyl.
