RE: LP releases delayed again

This is good news. I pre-ordered the albums at Norman Records
so should get them before the end of the month.
I don't know why, but I always enjoy receiving a record in the 
mail much more than receiving, or buying, a CD. 

Btw, how many vinyl pressing plants are left in the UK? The only one
left in The Netherlands, Record Industry (former Sony plant), had a 
new customers-stop earlier this year, because of capacity reasons. 

Best,
Frank

Trust me, late vinyl deliveries seem to be affecting a lot of releases across all labels. At least 
TVOTR will be a 2LP rather than the US's single one. TVOTR came into stock at Beggars last 
week, so that's a release in a couple of weeks in stores - DofE's album is also now in, I'm 
fairly sure it's due a week earlier.

I know in the US, some places are giving a 8 month deadline for vinyl - which is ridiculous - 
it's hard enough working 4 weeks up-front at times.
