Why did my ITUNES release date change to the 29TH!??!!!!

Any of you US counterparts have this change on yours??
yes. what the shit is going on.
If this isn't up somewhere by Friday, I may just need to crack & listen to this leak
Working from home makes days irrelevant.

Tuesday is the new Friday! Go for it!
Oh, man. I've been working from home for almost twenty years now....don't I know it!
The best part of this current situation is that I've now got my wife working from home for the foreseeable future alongside me; makes my day go so much faster (though this place always helps with that, too!).

Thank you for the encouragement, but, I will not break...The resolve remains strong!
(Unless it gets delayed :D )
We still make records to be listened to — not that everyone will listen to a record track one to twelve in a row or side A or Side B — but we still make 'em in case somebody does want to listen to it like that, that's how we make em…

Got my CD just now. The packaging is all shiny and the cliffs on the front are raised and textured. Packaging, A+
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

Going to try to resist listening to this album again until I get an unblemished, official copy.

My wife and son and I have fled Brooklyn to her parents' house in Massachusetts, but my vinyl copy, and thus my liner notes, won't be delivered here. Looking forward to these getting uploaded.

Same. Not sure Retrograde will ever grow on me.
