    Crazy Mary would have been a good 10C 7". One day those will show up!

    Indeed it would be.

    Bull Moose update the street date of the Sweet Relief vinyl to 12/31/2025. :|

    Maybe it'll come out on RSD next year, or be available as a non rsd release?

    Maybe Black Friday.

    I have to assume with RSD being spread out over the next 3 months, that there won't be a black friday one this year?

    Many online record sites still have it listed for the October 24th release, though with the official RSD website taking it down, doubt this release will happen this year. :(

    I assume this isn’t coming out.  I was so looking forward to this release too.  

    Anyone know why it isn’t coming out ??

    I emailed RSD after it wasn't listed anymore and they responded that they were asked to remove it from the drop list, but she said there was no reason given. I checked the Black Friday drop list, but it is not on there either.

    Thanks for the info !

    So it was removed from the drop list, and no explanation given.  Such a bummer !   Was so hoping to be giving that a listen.  Summer of Drugs or Frying Pan are two of my favorite songs.  Was really looking forward to this release, just hope it happens.

    This record was a benefit project back then.
    Maybe the reason this release was cancelled is that this wasn't intended to be a benefit release this time. Or at least I didn't read any info that this RSD release will benefit the Sweet relief musicians fund.

    I believe it went to a multiple sclerosis fund as well. Which is a great cause, and hopefully they can work something out for the charity.  Who knows, maybe they don’t have the rights to the music anymore ??

    Given that RSD was originally set for April and that this was only pulled from the third (October) Drop fairly recently, it’s probably safe to assume these were all pressed up, ready to go, and are now just sitting in a warehouse somewhere.   Hopefully common sense will prevail and they won’t all be sent to landfill.

    So...this record is the new "Art of Evolution" book?

    Hopefully not

    perhaps they released 2,000 copies might be a cluster fuck?

    Obviously, the book has happened. My point was that this vinyl release could possibly be the new book in terms of repeated delays.
