What happens if you order Accelerator (vinyl) on Amazon?

A funny story to share here...

In august i ordered Accelerator on vinyl on Amazon UK. It was listed as temporarily out of stock, but I wouldnt mind waiting as i figured it could take them a while to find one in new condition, and it would be worth the wait.

Just before Christmas, i was notified that it had suddenly been shipped! I was thrilled until i saw that Amazon now list the price as ~9£ while it was 27£ when i ordered!
I contacted their support, who said they would refund the full amount if i returned the parcel, after which i could reorder the item at the new and lower price. I tried to explain to them what a waste of resources it would be to post the same item back and forth, instead of just giving me a voucher for the price difference, but to no avail. Very silly because usually Amazon has given me really good support.

Today i received the item they send me.
Notice how i didnt say that i received the Accelerator vinyl, because what i got was this. You can listen to it here.

Long story short, anyone up for a swap with Accelerator on vinyl?? :D

That's utterly baffling. I'm hoping you sent it back!

Bizarre. Funny though - worth the hassle of sending it back just for the story :)

I contacted them again, they refunded the full amount and i dont need to send it back thank goodness.

So, if anyone wants this akward maxi single, which is so rare that it isnt even on discogs, let me know :D
