    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.

    Nice score on that!

    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 hope they change their minds and repress this.

    Seems to be an US-only release. That means I have to find a store shipping overseas in June.

    I still wonder what happened with this pressing.  Discogs has a picture of one, and someone sold one once, so it made it feel like it actually got pressed when it was supposed to come out a few years ago.  The pressing size seems more reasonable for back then, then it does now.   Were they holed up in a warehouse for years? 

    I hope I can score one somewhere.

    I remembered that. Yeah I hope we get to score a copy on RSD.

    In talking with the record store owners of the few small shops I frequent, I have been told that this album was pressed a year or two ago when it was originally to be released for RSD.  That there was a legal hold up and that was why it was pulled.  Those copies that people had were from people that had access to them, but they were never released.  

    Same with Tesla Mechanical Resonance RSD vinyl release.  Was never released last year on RSD, but you can now find them out in the wild.  

    But the Sweet Relief copies that I hope each of us are able to score on RSD were pressed a while ago and have been in storage somewhere.  Hopefully not warped like the Walmart PJ GH Vol. 1 and 2 that I found at Walmart the other day !!! 😡😡😡

    Easy Street should have about 1/4 of the 2500 copies :)
