I have been keeping close with my distributor in the US about the Into the Wild Reissue... this was the latest update as of this morning...

"Yeah, Sony out an absolute export ban on all titles on that label, and after a lot of scrounging around we will now be able to get them via a middle man mid-next week."


This is going to be VERY hard to come by in stores in the states. I was lucky enough to get my hands on enough to sell.

    Which US distributor do you speak of? Must be Sound Stage Direct. If so, then I am in good shape.

    They are not necessarily a distributor, they are most likely a retailer.

    The distributor that I use seem to do a lot of import vinyls so they were able to get a hold of a decent ammount, probably from a back channel in holland or surrounding country.

    If I'm reading this email from Music Direct about the Singles Soundtrack vinyl- sounds like this "ban" is affecting that release also...

    "Thank you for your order with Music Direct. That title is currently in limbo
    as the distributor is experiencing legal issues with Sony and is not
    authorized to ship Sony records outside of Europe. We are now looking for an
    alternate source to obtain that title. Your order remains open in our
    system. We will update you via email if the title is discontinued. Please
    let us know if you have any additional questions. We apologize for the
    inconvenience.

    Thank you and have a great day!"
