after reading the list recently i have noticed everyone is confused about these 2 releases. here is what i know: the v/vm christmas 7" was limited to 300 worldwide. i got 50 copies in, and none of mine had any tinsel inside. i dont think i have the time to take all of the tinsel out, so the idea that the distributors or shops did that seems a bit off base. i think the v/vm guys probably hand distributed some, and did the tinsel bit to those shops who got them straight off the label the boards 7" is not out yet. i have at least 2 sources i can get them from and one told me it was pushed back, and the other in the uk approached me for pre-orders yesterday. it looks like it will be down to the wire to get them out before christmas. the new skam single is in the same situation i do believe. dont know much about it yet. same goes for mask 3. i was also asked how many i would want yesterday, so it is near the shipping date i would think the mealtime comp is a bit of a mystery. no-one stateside knows anything about it. i called astralwerks and they are not putting it out either, so the export ban concept seems unlikely. got my feelers out, and i expect to know something soon see ya - pj np: the sound of the little voices inside my head and those new dot records too -- pj>the exalted grand puba of mail order modern music 1018 north charles st, baltimore, md. 21201 fon: 410.625 9390 fax: 410.625 9359 http://www.modernmusic.com password for website is: gogo
