The problem here is that their system thinks the album has been released, but it isn't actually "out" until tommorow. So it's shown as out of stock for 2 weeks.
There is really nothing beyond that I can do; we deliver the album to the distro who then ship it out to vendors, which happened earlier this week. So the vendors should all have it, and some will have shipped yesterday.
The shifting release date really hasn't helped matters, but I think that's more in terms of information displayed than any practical effect. As happens every time, some people will get copies tommorow, some will be a day or two later. The vendors and postal system are now in charge, our influence over this stage is nil.

This is what I've been thinking whilst reading the last page or so of this thread. It might be a little unnerving to read all of this "Out of stock" business and so on, but what the system is displaying probably isn't representative of the actual situation.

It's the only time i've EVER had a problem with Amazon not showing the right info on a pre order, and there have been plenty of changes to release dates before. It doesn't particularly bother me if it was the only way of obtaining the CD but knowing it could be sat on a shop shelf while i potentialy wait another 10-12 days is annoying!
I'll keep the original order but go and buy another one from HMV tomorrow, win win situation!

I've never forgotten (or forgiven) my brother's dog half eating my first copy of HU4 so buying a spare can't be a bad idea!

Hahaha - I moved to a country where there is no hardcore and there are no parties! ... except all the way across the other side!!
I'm still very much into hardcore, (my HU5 arrived today!!) and I listen to podcasts by CLSM, Hard Beats Collective and Fracus & Brisk every time they come out. Can't get enough of my fresh hardcore... would be lovely to have somewhere to go out dancing but. :-(
I take a photo of myself with every new HU cd. It's tradition. ^_^

Just arrived home and i've listened to the first half of the Darwin/Fracus mix.
Really enoying it so far. I've got to ask though - what is it with DJ's these days and introducing random breaks in the middle of tracks? Sometimes they work and other times they just don't compliment the songs at all, and this happens on every other track I've listened to from that mix so far! Yes, it was fresh and new to add breaks here and there when appropriate back in '05 and '06, but now its starting to feel a little too bland and generic.
That being said, if it wasn't for Darwin, Fracus, CDJay, the whole HU series, hardcore would be in such a sorry state right now. It's the saving grace of the whole genre.
