From Ipecac:

“OOOppoooopsie!

So, just to let you know that the Isis “Holy Tears” Cd single has been corrected. As some of you know, a handful of singles were sent out with the wrong tracks on them. This was a limited problem and has been rectified. We’ve been told it had something to do with too much cough syrup. Anyway, when you buy the “Holy Tears” single now, you actually get “Holy Tears”, neat, huh? If you have one of the mistakes please return it to your point of purchase or keep it as a collectors item rarity. “

There have been more delays and manufacturing issues with Isis’s 1st 10th anniversary single, Holy Tears, lifted from there 2006 album, In the Absence of Truth, resulting in some people ending up with defective releases. It appears that some people have recieved the single prematurely with the Holy Tears video missing.
Official statement:

” Many of you have been inquiring about the “Holy Tears” single - Due to unforseen manufacturing mishaps the release of the “Holy Tears” single is once again being postponed… however it will be available very very soon. If you somehow managed to get one of the defects, then don’t worry the real thing will be available shortly. We will keep you posted.

The contents of the single should be (and will be):

1. Holy Tears (Album Version)
2. Not In Rivers, But In Drops (Melvins / Lustmord remix)
3. Holy Tears (Live from Continental Airlines Arena 10.06)
4. Holy Tears Video (Directed by Dominic Hailstone) “

Still no release date for the 2nd single to be released, Not in Rivers But In Drops, and they have recently announced that their 10th anniversary limited edition (600) vinyl box set has completely sold out.
