Not all over the world

The next batch of ELO remasters - On The Third Day, Face The Music and A New World Record - are finally out, in the US today and Britain yesterday.

They don't seem to be out in Canada yet. Amazon.ca lists them as being released Sept. 26. I've heard that ANWR will be released in Australia, but not the other two.

All this BS comes after at least two earlier delays: first they were supposed to come out in 2001 on the heels of Zoom and the first 4 remasters. Then they were announced for May of this year. Now they're here, but not all over the world.

The stupidity, shortsightedness and bumbling of the record companies never ceases to amaze me. Here's a tip, guys in suits: release them everywhere, at the same time.
