Beyonce Lemonade vinyl mispressed with tracks by Canadian punk band

The yellow-vinyl pressing of Beyonce's album Lemonade has ended up including the first five tracks from female-fronted Canadian punk band ZEX's record Uphill Battle.

An error made at the Celebrate Records plant in Germany, which Sony uses to manufacture vinyl, caused a mispressing of the punk band's music onto Side A of Beyonce's album.

The band posted a video on their Facebook page which showed the Lemonade vinyl playing their music.

A statement issued by Beyonce's label Columbia said: "Due to human error at the Celebrate Records plant in Germany, which Sony uses to manufacture vinyl, a small amount of the European run of the Beyonce Lemonade vinyl included music from Canadian punk band ZEX on Side A.

"Beyonce and ZEX were not made aware of or responsible for the mispress. Fans who purchased the vinyl will be refunded and given a replacement copy. We apologise for the inconvenience this has caused."

Beyonce's fans, collectively known as the Beyhive, were waiting for months for the "Formation" artist to release Lemonade on vinyl.

As well as the yellow pressing, the artist also released a collector's edition How To Make Lemonade box set, which includes a 600+ page coffee table book, double vinyl LP, and audio and visual album downloads, at a price of $299.99.

Beyonce recently pledged help for her hometown of Houston, Texas, after it was devastated by Hurricane Harvey.

She teamed up with Bread of Life, the Greater Houston Community Foundation, and Texas Southern University, to raise money towards essentials such as blankets, pillows and cleaning products.

She was also seen earlier this month serving food to those affected, after returning to Houston to help with her mother Tina, and former Destiny's Child bandmate Michelle Williams.

In a video of her trip to St John's Church, where she sang as a child, she was heard saying the day was a "story of survival" and added: "Houston is my home."

"The things that really matter are your health and your children, and your family and your life," she told residents.
