***re:  Juan Atkins mix on TVT; Nov 17 is the "newest" *official* release date
;)  You have to keep in mind that this was originally supposed to come out in
July, then August, then September, then October was very firm, and now it's
November 17.  IMO, this will not appear on vinyl.  Often when a label allows a
compilation to license its tracks, vinyl licensing is a totally separate deal.
Plus Juan Atkins is underappreciated as it is, so selling CDs will be plenty of
work for TVT as it is, unfortunately.  re:  Infiniti album:  this was originally
supposed to come out on Brooklyn Music Limited *first*; it then came out on
Tresor last month and won't be out domestically (ie. US and Canada) on BML until
later this year; the MOdel 500 album will be out on R & S (distributed worldwide
by SOny), but Atkins doesn't hold much hope that Sony will a) put it out
domestically in Canada and the US, and you can bet that b) R & S will have it on
vinyl, but Sony won't (well, maybe in Japan)  Andrew "trying to be an optimist
