No one is saying they are bad folks. Certainly not me, but they have had Saturday's date listed on the individual title page for all of their distributed RSD titles, not just DWRC's, all week. I asked about the date on Thursday and, unlike JMCTodo, didn't get any response. LITA has a storefront where they sold these titles, and others, all day Saturday. The text on the site, which was removed last night/this morning, indicated that these would go online after their brick and mortar store closed on 4/19. Lastly, RSD titles don't have to be held offline until 4/26 USA this year. That is simply not the case. Nearly every indie record shop with an online presence in the USA has already sold their leftovers online. And this is the crux of the issue. There was no reason for me to think that text was an error. It probably wasn't. Even so, I queried them and received no response. As a DWRC/OWS/LITA subscriber based in the US who worked all weekend, I did not make alternate arrangements because I took LITA at their entirely believable word. Hopefully these records will go online for sale at some point. If not, I will be very upset that I am paying import/flipper prices for albums that I was supposed to have access to from a distributer who gets a lot of my money every year.
