    I ordered one at banquet records. Normally a reliable store, we will see what happens. 


    Funny story: shipping from UK to Germany is at 12 GBP. Shipping for 4 LPs is at 19 GBP.

    It took them only 2 hours 25 minutes to cancel the order.

    Same here. I bought the CD when it was first released and still listen to it fairly regularly.

    The RSD lp’s were made, I saw a picture somewhere of a bunch.  I am guessing they will be part of the RSD release in June.  There were a few others that dropped off the list last fall, which I also assume will be coming out this June.  

    Fingers are crossed .... summer of drugs and frying Pan are two of my favorite songs

    Only site I saw images of this vinyl was over @ https://www.discogs.com/Various-Sweet-Relief-A-Benefit-For-Victoria-Williams/release/16100399 . Would be great if it'll be available for the next RSD.

    Or even better, make enough available so that flippers don't buy them all up and turn around and demand over $100 for them.

    Great album, wish they would release the RSD copies that clearly exist, or repress it.

    I wonder if something happened with the pressing, like it had defects, or got damaged in transit.  Maybe they had to scrap it and haven't bothered to repress?

    I also think it had an original press in the 90s.   Might be easier/cheaper to obtain a copy of that one?

    It absolutely is.    I scored one on eBay for about £40 a couple of weeks ago.   The sleeve was as you’d expect for a 28 year old record but the vinyl itself plays perfectly.   

    EDIT:   The original was a single LP though, whereas the RSD one appears to be a double LP.

    Sweet fine for only £40 on the original pressing.

    I hope they change their minds and repress this.
