That happened to me with LP2. It came the next week.

I wonder how many were pressed? I know at least 500 because of the limited box set 10c were selling. But most stores have delays.

Saying Riot Act might be shipped by Dec 10. Did they not press enough?

are the amazon mp3 downloads that of the newly remastered/ remixed albums, or are you getting the original? also, what is the opinion of binaural and riot act remasters? i listened to avacado and have mixed feelings, but was curious if the other two are remixed as well.

I got my Avocado, but for Riot Act and Binaural they aren't even giving me a date:
Delivery estimate: We need a little more time to provide you with a good estimate. We'll notify you via e-mail as soon as we have an estimated delivery date.

Amazon.ca is showing Dec 1 for me

Looking forward to whenever they arrive!

i wanted to get an opinion on if it would be worthwhile to download some older albums from hdtracks. I have the ten redux, and vitalogy/vs. remasters on cd, and these were ripped by me to flac already. for these albums, would it be worthwhile to purchase the hdtracks version, or would there be much difference from what i have already? i downloaded yield and no code from there, and was impressed at the higher quality sound, but i think that is due to the fact these were remastered for vinyl. i am not sure that ten redux, and the vitalogy / vs. remasters were changed for vinyl. also, would the lightning bolt download from there be any different than what i ripped from the actual cd, since i have not heard of it being remastered for vinyl. was binaural and riot act somewhat remastered for vinyl, and would the albums on hdtracks be these remasters? thanks in advance!

Riot Act & Binaural arrived from Amazon UK two days ago.

Out of My Mind and Time

So do I wait for Amazon or cancel pre order and order through 10C? I received Avocado. But no Riot Act and Binaural. And no news on order.

I guess you can cancel the Amazon. They said it might be until Dec 10. Not sure why the delay? They have been hard to find in stores too.

Same issue here with Amazon, I only received Avocado.  I just found Riot Act in a local shop so I’m going to cancel that one.  Might as well keep my Binaural order until it either arrives or I find it in a local shop.

The store I go to said the label had issue last week, which is why they weren't available everywhere.  Not sure what the problem is now, but I would think it would be straightened out relatively soon.

So can anyone confirm the issue is that they are repressing them?

This is what it's like for me every single time I pre-order from Amazon. It is why I never pre-order from Amazon anymore if I care about getting the album on or very close to the release date. Why bother? It's faster and more reliable to just wait until it's actually available from them, or, if I care about getting it earlier, to pre-order from just about anyone else. Others have said they have had okay experiences with Amazon pre-order, but I never have. It is ALWAYS delayed for no apparent reason when I've tried it. At this point I've decided to mostly forego pre-sales altogether for mass market releases. I just wait a couple of months, until the Amazon price has gone way down.

This is the first time since 2005 I've not had something on or before release date with Amazon Prime. First time.

That is amazing. I would be gobsmacked if I got something that efficiently on Amazon pre-order, lol.

Same here.  Still no word from Amazon on an arrival, either.
