PORTLAND, Ore. - It was a fortuitous typo for the Fred Meyer retail chain.
This spring, an employee intending to order a special CD-DVD edition of R.E.M.'s latest release "Accelerate" inadvertently entered the "LP" code instead. Soon boxes of the big, vinyl discs showed up at several stores.Some sent them back. But a handful put them on the shelves, and 20 LPs sold the first day.
