    A word of warning for anyone thinking of buying vinyl from International Anthem via >Bandcamp.
    They list items shipped within seven days, however my purchases from 4 December still haven't >shipped. I emailed them, and they can't tell me when my purchases will be shipped.

    Shame, as I love the label and had hoped to support them and their artists more by buying vinyl >from Bandcamp.

    There have been massive delays in pressing vinyl generally recently. I have had loads of stuff delayed by weeks. Fliptrix's new album on High Focus turned up today and was due in early November.

  • Distributors had a big rush leading up to christmas and then took a big break. In the UK they came back to new rules so I think suppliers have had a job keeping up with demand.

    I think stocks are coming through again but will have to see which countries can keep operating factories. It's GZ Media who have been pressing a lot of the recent crop and they are back to their old ways. Optimal it depends on who's paying and how much. Pallas are quiet but they might be having problems getting acetates. GZ Media are DMM so they don't have that problem.

    French pressings are a small part of the rest of the market. Even high end labels like Analogue Productions are having problems delivering due to warehouse concerns.

    The new Blue Notes keep coming through though.

    Last thing we need is more pressure on GZ Media, they will just rush and ruin pressings.
