Consistent with:

- amazon.com changed the date to 24.07 (was 10.07)

Seems 24th it is!

[Jote]

amazon.de and jpc.de still insist on 20.07. I suppose this will change too.

Seems 24th it is!

For now...

imusic.dk sent out "We expected to be able to deliver the item on 10/7-2020, but unfortunately it has been delayed from the supplier" e-mails. No communication from FNAC though.

I have the CD since yesterday.

I have the CD since yesterday.

We know you have. You got it from Francis Dreyfus himself.

Finally some concrete information, courtesy of Glenn Folkvord

I talked to the Nordic distributor today (Naxos). They explained that the delay is due to a production error on the first batch of CDs, and they had to be destroyed. The entire run had to be pressed again. The Naxos guy checked his computer while I talked to him and he saw that their central warehouse in Germany had the new batch in stock today and were packaging them for shipment to retailers "as we speak". (That doesn't necessarily mean all retailers will get enough stocks in time.)

This would explain the "out of stock"/"out of print"/"not available"

No that is not correct. Got it from the record company for free.

[Jote]

Just had a call from the record company and they said they've never given one to you, let alone for free

Update 20.07

- amazon.de (originally 20.07) - "Derzeit nicht verfügbar" ("currently not available")
- jpc.de (originally 20.07) - technically still claims 20.07, but notes that "lieferbar innerhalb einer Woche (soweit verfügbar beim Lieferanten)" ("available within a week (if available from suppliers)")
- amazon.fr - product page returned after being deleted for ≈2 weeks, with "Actuellement indisponible." ("currently not available")

I wonder what will happen on the 24th...

[shadow]

My order still stands, but we'll see if in four days we'll be getting our release. It's such a hot mess...

[Jote]

Another update for 20.07:

- amazon.co.uk changed the date to 7.08 (was 28.08)

Today FNAC began sending out Radiophonie vol. 10 (my credit card was actually charged on 19th) Success!
