I think I remembered reading somewhere that the backlog for getting vinyl pressed was like 6 months. That’s across the board for every artist. If they finished mixing and mastering in Sept or Oct, then April is a good guess or even May or June. Then consider delivery of product to the label, then distribution from there. But who really knows.. That’s not saying that they wouldn’t or couldn’t release prior to vinyl availability.primussucks said:
True, that's basically what I meant. But I believe Stone had mentioned that he thought a single might be coming around Thanksgiving. I just don't see that happening anytime soon especially if the records not coming until April.PJNB said:
I don't think pushed back is correct at all. It is not like it had a release date and got delayed. Coming out later than the clickbait headlines had us believe maybe more accurate.primussucks said:
I think the album release has been pushed back to April. So I don't think we'll get a single til February.bigbiggzy said:STONE!! WHERE’S THE DANG SINGLE ALREADY??On a side note, somewhere on FB earlier someone posted a pic of the guys and story about being on a flight today with with Mike, Stone and Ed heading to Burbank for recording session. Didn’t say what though. Makes me think maybe a video shoot for the coming single? Purely speculative but maybe…0 - 
            
If you were being cynical you could say that the Earthling variants were to mask the comparatively poor quality of the songs…demetrios said:Zod said:
One would be great. Though Ed's Earthling vinyl release there were 4 variants. Just hope there isn't 20+ variants like the last RHCP's album.

            The problem with Earthling wasn’t the songs, it was that Eddie Vedder/ the label charged so high for the album on vinyl that record stores felt ashamed about the price they had to take for it"Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"0

and now you can buy the vinyl for about 1/2 the price that it was when it was released. Wish I'd waited.Spiritual_Chaos said:The problem with Earthling wasn’t the songs, it was that Eddie Vedder/ the label charged so high for the album on vinyl that record stores felt ashamed about the price they had to take for it0 - 
            
That is a fair point.Spiritual_Chaos said:
What is there ro speculate about the songsBF25394 said:

It is weird to me that there is more speculation about what colors the superfluous vinyl records will be than there is speculation about what songs will be on the album.I gather speed from you fucking with me.0 -

It was a photo of Ed and the pilot and Ed sitting in the jump seat. Could have been a private plane.BF25394 said:

I'll be honest - the record did very little for me, and I haven't heard it again since the month it was released.goldrush said:

Each to their own, as I know many folk love it.0 - 
            If Ed ever does a solo record again it literally needs to be solo. No backing band. Just him and an acoustic and maybe a little harmonica. Basically just like Sprinsteens Nebraska. That's what I'm hoping for cause I know it would be really really good!Summerfest 7/8/95
